My friend is trying to print a schematic that was created in Altium. Everything looks OK while viewing in Altium, but when I try to print it to PDF, the pin names and even port names are getting skewed. This is happening even when I use smart PDF to create the PDF.
It seems only things that have been rotated are affected by this.
It used to work properly in the beginning, but after a few days it suddenly started to go wrong.
Had exactly the same problem with Altium 16
Go to: DXP -> Preferences -> Schematic -> General Uncheck the "Render Text with GDI+"
Fixed it for me
This issue still exists in versions going up to 20 or 21. Looks like you're using a font different from what Altium is originally configured with. Altium's built-in "smart" PDF print utility is broken unless you use the font Altium expects.
I use a monospaced font (no ambiguities between 1, l, I, O, 0) which caused justification issues with PDFs (extra spaces added to labels).
My solution is to use an external PDF printer utility.
