Hi Erik,
There are several ways to export to PDF, and they don't usually work the same.
1, file > export ;
2, file > print, and choose printing to PDF;
3, command line:
librecad dxf2pdf foo.dxf
Could you test them all?
I will have a look at your dxf file, if nothing works for you.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I'm stuck. I've been using PC based CAD software since the availability of the 8088 and I've never had the printing and export problems I have with LibreCAD. Love how easy it is to draw overall but printing and PDFs are driving me nuts.
I've had a number of issues printing. I am on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. The version from the official repo would reset the drawaing after print preview so I have switched to the latest from Github.
That fixed the drawing reset issue, but seriously, why is it so hard to export a simple drawing to PDF? A "fixit" button would be great.
Anyway, I'd really appreciate help with this example. How do I get this drawing to PDF?
Also, separately the landscape/portrait setting seems backwards for my Epson 15000.
Just knowing what to do to send PDF's of my simple little drawings would be really helpful.
Thank you.
