First page margins affect the other pages?

I am creating a fancy looking first page and wanted the header and footer to extend all the way - or as close as possible - to the left and right edges of the page. They are not images, just divs with a background colour stretched to width 100%. So under "Page Layout" I selected different first page and then on the layout for that page I reduced the page margins to just 4mm.

This made the front page look great, unfortunately it affected the right margin of the rest of the pages too. This means the left looked ok at 20mm, but the content ran off the page on the right despite being set at 20mm in the default page layout. If I revert the first page margins back to 20mm left and right, then the other pages look OK. Is this a bug? Is there another way around this?

Cheers,

Jen

PS. Loving the plugin regardless, the exports look so much better than the default!

  Hi,

  this is definitely a bug. Seems like the PDF generator calculates the page width only based on the first page and then applies that to the other pages as well. Since you have a bigger padding / margin on those, your content is running out of the right side.

  I opened an issue for this here: http://k15t.jira.com/browse/PDF-255

   

  Best regards,
  Jens

  Hi there,

   

  I have exactly the same issue... and this one is really annoying. The PDF export is powerful but such bugs are preventing clean corporate documents from being exported.

  Any news about the bug resolution?

   

  Thanks,

  Nicolas.

  Hi Nicolas,

  Unfortunately there are no news on this issue. However I will make sure that this one is ranked with a higher priority.

  Best,
  Tobias

  Hi Tobias,

  Cool, thanks. 

  How often do you use to publish update for that plugin?

  Regards,
  Nicolas.

  Hi Nicolas,

  We basically release once a month. Sometimes these releases are major, minor or just bugfix releases. You can get a good overview at https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-pdf

  However we are in the process of aligning the architecture to the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) - when we started Scroll PDF Exporter it was not guaranteed that every installation has an UPM - now it is :) The ability to bundle our base/core components of our exporters will eventually result in being able to release more often.

  Cheers,
  Tobias
