Hello - I have noted this issue in vers 2.2.0.2 also but only when Print to File (PDF). I do not see the same issue when printing to printer but I've not tried it yet and printer paper sizes may use different terminology.

The confusion may come when selecting the paper size under the Print to File (PDF) property.

In the USA, ANSI B (American National Standards Institute) sized paper is 11" x 17" (279mm x 432mm);
The names, Tabloid and Ledger define the orientation -
Tabloid is W 11' x H 17" and Ledger is W 17" x H 11".


LibreCAD has it shown incorrectly opposite under the Print to File (PDF) option thus the Tabloid shown as W 17" x H 11" and  Ledger shown as W 11" x H 17".

For what it is worth, my printer Epson WF 7610 only offers a Tabloid orientation. You would have to select custom size to get the W 17" x H 11" option. Other printers may differ in how they offer paper sizes and names.

I realize your posting was several years ago but this still shows up in the latest stable release of AlibreCAD for Linux.
