Good day,
When previewing attached file and/or exporting to pdf, it's content width on page differs from what Libreoffice shows. Seems like width changes proportionally for every column. Can this be fixed/configured so that previews would match?
Thank you!

Re: Preview width differs
I was able to reproduce the issue and reported it to our developers.
Workaround: You could simply use "File > Page setup > Options > Scaling options > Scaling mode: > Use fixed scaling factor" and set this to somewhere around 110% for the document to better fit on the printout.

Re: Preview width differs
Developer feedback on this issue:
Print area size discrepancies can occur across spreadsheet software due to line height and column widths being stored as fractions of character widths. This can lead to slight differences when switching the operating system, program, printing method, or default fonts.
When comparing PlanMaker with Excel on macOS, the print results are almost the same. However, even Excel on macOS had discrepancies when exporting to PDF using the "Save as PDF" internal program option versus the "Print to PDF" system dialog option.
Use the previously mentioned scaling options to make adjustments. You can also find the "Page setup" button in the "File > Print preview" dialog to make these adjustments easier.
