Squashed Dimension text in truncated section details

I have dimension text spanning between two areas of a trunkated section detail. When viewed in REVIT LT the text is as expected. When I print the PDF the text becomes very squashed.

 

Anyone else had this issue and if so, is there a work-around? I can't "un-trunkate" my detail to move the text as I've put a lot of time into the layout and would rather avoid the abortive work of havin to do so....though, as we all know, REVIT loves double-working solutions....

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried an alternate PDF Printer?

Does it act the same?

That's it! thank you. I as using the Default PDF exporter in REVIT LT. However...how do you change the PDF engine within PDF exporter? I cannot find this option. Printing the PDFs does not carry the same File Naming protocols as publishing...

 

Than you!
