Description:
I have a model that fits into an A4 page. When exporting to PDF (File > Export > Export as single page PDF) I an getting a PDF with 2 pages fit into a single A4 page (on the left I am getting my model and on the right there is empty space). Same holds for printing to a virtual PDF printer (Acrobat PDF driver).

If that helps, my page setup is set to A4 portrait. I have also noticed that the zoom pane inside the EER Diagram tab, displays 2 pages (this probably explains why I am getting 2 pages in the PDF) but there is no way to change this (I recall it was possible in older versions).

File > Print to file  produces a 2-page PDF (the second page is empty) and this is the workaround to get the desired result (by deleting the second empty page).

How to repeat:
Use the model in this zip file. Some screenshots and PDFs are also provided.

In Model -> Diagram Properties and Size... change the size of your diagram to the number of pages you need.
