[Qgis-user] Scale on printed pdf is incorrect

[Flore Cotton]

Hi,

I have a problem with printing a map on the right scale (Qgis2.18.24).

If I put the map in the print composer on an A4 format, I change the scale (for example 1000), and I print the pdf, it is printed on the right scale. (I recalculated it, by measuring a specific distance in qgis and then on the pdf).

Now, our map is very detailled and we need those details in good quality. So we need to print the map on format A0, to have the best quality. If I do the same as before (change scale, print on pdf), the scale isn't right on the pdf. Instead of scale 1/1000, I get some scale in my recalculation.

Do you know what the problem is, or what did I do wrong?

Thank you,

Flore
