I have a M4 MAC mini IOS 15.4.1, 32M RAM, Running Sketchup/Layout 25.0.633. When I export to PDF the layout dimensions look fine, but in the PDF export the values are truncated.
Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

Can you share the LO file so we can try the export on a different machine?
Are you using an uncommon font? It might be a font issue. Does this happen with all dimension units, or only with feet/inches?
Dave, Here are the files. Hope you can open them. Lynn
It doesn’t appear to be font related although there are some fonts that don’t play well in Adobe PDF files. I exported the page to PDF on my PC and those dimensions you show match what I see in your LO file.
What are you viewing the PDF in? Preview? What happens if you open it in Adobe Reader?
By the way, I see some other issues with your viewports. Do you want me to go over those with you?
Dave, I usually use Preview, however just down loaded Adobe reader…Same problem
Sure, I would like to see the viewport issues you see, thanks. Lynn
Looks like a similar problem when I use engineering format…it truncates at 3 decimal places of the PDF export. I have used Verdana font for years.
I notice that during the PDF export process, the Layout dimensions Transition from showing the correct feet/inches to the truncated version with a Arrow while the export is in process then back to the correct format after the export process is complete.
And you are exporting to PDF, not printing to PDF? I wonder if @adam would have any insight.
I’ll make some screenshots and give you some feedback about the viewports.
From the file menu, I select Export, select PDF format and tell where I want the output.
I just tried Print>Save as PDF…It worked correctly…so why doesn’t the export work correctly???
Good question. Usually when we see similar sorts of issues reported it’s the print to PDF that has the problems and export to PDF that doesn’t.
The other day I worked with someone who was having trouble with blue boxes showing up in their PDF files in Preview but not in Adobe Reader. Great mysteries.
p.s. I sent you a PM about the viewports and stuff to avoid taking this thread off topic.
