Hello all,

When setting up headers and footers in PDF-XChange Printer Standard, I noticed that the font size in the preview deviates significantly from the actual font size set. Note that if you set the zoom factor in PDF-XChange Editor to 79%, the page view in PDF-XChange Editor and the header and footer preview in the printer driver will be almost the same size, making verification easier.

  • The fonts in the PDF file above and the preview below should be displayed at approximately the same size, but they are not.

Note that on my PC, there is a difference of about 2.54x in font size. That is, the fonts in the screen image of the PDF file actually generated when the header font size is set to 10 pt are almost the same size as the fonts in the preview when the header font size is set to 25 pt (= 10 pt x 2.54). You probably don't know what I'm talking about from the words alone, so please watch the video. :wink:

  • Above is the actual generated PDF file with a header font size of 10pt,<br />and below is a preview on printer driver when set to 25pt.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.

Hello rakunavi,

Thanks for the great description and video! As always those are very much appreciated.
I've reproduced the issue here on my end, and then set the ticket up:

Will post an update when this is addressed by our devs.
