I've been setting up drawings with multiple sheet layers since they were introduced years ago. Using Page Setup, I use settings from a PDF "printer" I've used for years that allows custom page size options. I've got a routine that has worked for over 5 years; maybe a decade even. I then output them via the Publish command to PDF. I have a standard setup for the options in the various Publish windows, which have also worked fine for years.
Now in VWX2020, I've been using the same process and getting weird results. PDF's exported as "Letter" sized are coming out as 8.5"x11" drawings, on larger paper, like 9.5" x 24" wide. Not standard paper sizes; nothing I've ever specified; but it could be the scaled size of the VWX window on my computer monitor desktop. These files print fine, but viewing them in a PDF viewer doesn't work well. as the PDF viewer thinks the file is supposed to include all the unused white space outside the actual image.
I'm also seeing the PDF's clipped off, as visible on the VWX window on my monitor.
It's like instead of publishing the PDF per the specifications entered in Page Setup, VWX is now publishing screen shots.

Anybody else seeing this?
