Problem of saving .fig file as .pdf file

Hi, everyone

I need to save .fig file as .pdf file. Previously, I used command

set(gcf,'PaperOrientation','landscape'); set(gcf,'PaperUnits','centimeters'); set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','auto'); set(gcf,'PaperPosition', [0 0 1 1]); saveas(gcf, 'test', 'pdf');

and it worked fine. However, when I updated my MATLAB to 2014b and 2015a, all numbers on y-axis of .pdf file are overlapped with the edge of the diagram

Is there any way I can fix it?

does anyone know?

I'm not sure - but one thing that looks strange to me is the line of code that sets the PaperPosition:

set(gcf,'PaperPosition', [0 0 1 1]);

Did you really mean to make the figure 1cm x 1cm on the output page?

I'd suggest removing that line and see if that makes a difference

Hi,

Thank you for your replying, I tried to remove line, but the numbers still overlap with the axis, I got this problem since 2014b

I think we'll need to see a more complete example in order to understand what is happening. Can you post one?

[Ming]

thanks Richard, do you want me to send the .fig file to you?

If the code doesn't involve anything proprietary/confidential I'd suggest posting it here and, if necessary, attaching any data files required. That gives others a chance to weigh in with alternative suggestions/answers.

Hi, I finally found the problem, it is the font I used for the numbers on y-axis, if use the default font "Helvetica", it will be fine, if use font "Calibri" all numbers on y-axis of .pdf file will be overlapped with the edge of the diagram.
