Unable to print picture, what is wrong ??

[MWD]

Hi friendes, i´m making a drawing for a modellboat.

I started a A4-dokument but when i try to print my drawing the hole picture comes out of center?? See below.

I have tryed to move the hole group in Affinity but i get the same result regardles of what i do.

I have never seen this before. I make simple drawings for rc-aeroplanes and other hobbyprojects in Affinity.

Can someone please help me to get this right?

Hi, thankyou for your reply..

I dont understand that ?? I chosed A4 from the beginning.

I cut the picture out with the "artboard tool" and put it in a new A4 dokument.

When i print i now get both A4 and A3 ?? Solved part of my problem but how do i transform the dokument to a regular A4?

Make a new Affinity Designer A4 Document. Open your KKV Spantruta  fel utskrift.afdesign and copy all the Curves you have drawn, use the layer panel to select them all. Group them and now copy them. Go to the new A4 document and paste them in.

I did just that.

But i got the print in the PDF above?? Two pictures...

Looks ok on the screen but comes out wrong??

There is something in the dokument that needs to be adjusted but i dont know what??

What app are you using to print the PDF?

If a 1 page print comes out on several sheets you possibly have selected an according print option?  For instance to print A3 on A4 you could have used a "poster" option. Another possible option would be to print 1 page several times on 1 sheet.

But your B.PDF has two pages. So if you print the entire PDF the output of two pages is expected.

I use no particular AP. I work on a stationary computer.

How do i get rid of the extra page in the PDF?? I can´t se what it comes from??

I just want one A4 cheet with my drawing.

I post the Affinity-file here...Someting is generating the extra cheet seen in the PDF but what??

@MWD,

Thanks for providing a copy of your file!

You have 2 artboards in your document, one within the other - the smaller one is less than A4 in size and the larger one appears to be A3.

Within the smaller artboard group there is a larger artboard & within this is a large image layer. When exporting the document, you're exporting both artboards, hence the additional PDF page.

I have deleted both the larger artboard and image layer here, then copied the group of curves and navigated to File > New, where I created an A4 artboard document.

Within the new document, I have pasted the group of curves and attached this file here.

I hope this helps

Hi Dan, thank you so much!!

I realised that it was my original pictures that caused the problems but did not know how to fix it.

Now i can go on with my project.
