Hi @JtheBAB,

PDF rendering, by default, can be fairly inaccurate when compared to the original page view. If you need more accurate PDF rendering it's probably worth following the instructions here to switch to the more accurate WKHTMLtoPDF rendered.

Hi @ssddanbrown

Missed that :(

It looks like it is working better (but only with the version from the website and not the repo from debian).

But the Tables are unfortunately not better.
