Font Size of SOAP Notes Shrink in PDF Report When Too Long

Situation

When generating a patient report in pdf format that includes the standard SOAP note that OpenEMR comes with (starting at pt dashboard –> report –> selecting desired info –> download pdf), if the SOAP note is over a certain length (seems to be about 4 pages total, or perhaps if the plan is over a page?) then the text shrinks to barely readable to fit the entire note in 2 pages. Older shorter notes in the same report are not affected. This makes it impossible to quickly print legible notes for pts and very difficult to fax/share records requested by other physicians.

This has been an issue for several versions.

Been on OpenEMR since 2020 and very appreciative of this community :slight_smile:

Search
Did you search the forum for similar questions? Yes. I found:

I tried the modification presented there to override w/ text 1rem with no change. I also tried the pdf font setting in the EMR- no change. I also changed “font-size” from 9 to 14 also in the custom report php- this made all of the other parts of the report bigger, but did not change the SOAP pdfs in question.

Clearly there is some issue w/ how those larger pdfs are being incorporated into the report. What can I do?
