Hi Xavier,
I actually wanted to add that this might be because the width of the columns in the PLOG doesn't match the format of the values (e.g. "HDG" being wider than "Level")...
But then I did another test on Android, and it looks like when generating the PDF from there (I just learned that's possible), then the columns are spaced out much better! This should help with the font size, or at least I think so.

Is it possible you've turned on more columns than are needed, therefore SkyDemon is making the font smaller to squeeze everything in?

I should have noticed you already had answered the same question only days ago, I had searched for the keyword PLOG, but not for the simple "Pilot Log". Sorry about that.
Yes you are right, I had not thought of that because of what I perceive as a lack of progressiveness in the decreasing size of the fonts. One additional column and the font becomes very small, way too small compared to the size of the text boxes.

I encourage my PPL students to prepare their navigation flights with Skydemon and to use the printed PLOG in flight.
The aim is to learn dead reckoning, so the iPad stays in the bag.
The printed PLOG is very good but Ihe text is printed in very small fonts compared to the size of the page. Hardly legible in flight.
Is there a way to increase the size of the characters?
They print with their ipad. Would it be better if they used the desktop app?
