Project view & PDF Preview do not match Target Build

Post by aparkes »

I'm having an issue with my PDF output.

In the project the document looks exactly how I want it.

When I preview the file it looks fine.

However when I build and look at my document it looks like this, where the second and third images have shrunk.

I am using a responsive layout for a HTML export, which may be causing the issue however, I don't know why it looks different in my preview compared to my export.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

I've had issues with DIVs and floats in PDF layouts before. In the end I've had to nail down the dimensions of DIVs (in the print medium) to make sure I'm getting what I want in final PDF output. Which can make it a careful balance in specifying sizes so you get great PDF and keeping things flexible for online output. In the end the compromise for me was always towards PDF which is my primary output.

Cheers,
Rob

Sometimes I have differences between the preview and the output in PDF because the preview doesn't have to worry about other topics. This really got us one time in a document with a lot of images, because things didn't end up where the preview suggested. Might not be your issue though.
