Printing and Exporting to PDF - Output is blank

JDelgado0311
LibreCAD v2.0.6
OS is Win 7 Pro sp1
Printer HP 1010


Today, I tried printing for the first time.  I made sure the "Print to file" check box was not checked.  The printer simply fed the page through without attempting to print anything to it.  I then tried exporting the drawing to PDF.  The file was created but when I opened it, it was blank.

Any help will be appreciated.  

Thanks

Can you attach the file? click on the more tab, "upload a file"

Thanks,

I'd prefer the dxf file...

Oops! Here it is.  I did notice there were a couple of other similarly named files.  I'm not sure how I created them.  The program did crash several times.

Thanks Again

Please go to Edit menu and select Current Drawing Preferences ....
In the Paper tab set a valid size for Custom paper size or select an other preset paper size from the list.

The paper size for your drawing is much too small. I'll check if this is a LibreCAD issue, if we have to initialize the values for new drawings.
I can confirm, that the PDF is empty, with this paper size. With a print scale factor of 1:200000 the print preview is OK, but PDF and printing doesn't work.

With a valid paper size of A4 and a print scale factor of 1"=16" the PDF export works well for me.

if line types are used, they are defined in mm. If the pdf paper size is close to mm or smaller, line types may prevent entities from being drawn.

this is the print out if you choose letter for paper size, 1:16 in the scale box
