When clicking Print > Adobe PDF the filesize is nice and small but the legend gets messed up. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Note: I am aware of the Export > PDF and of the reduce DPI and Re-sampling sizes.

Could you define "messed up"? Perhaps include a screenshot of the legend after printing to a pdf. – Get Spatial Apr 24 '12 at 23:36

If you're using Print ->Adobe PDF then what you're actually doing is using a print-driver to create the PDF. The problem therefore is with whatever PDF print driver you're using.

Try using a different one there are some comparisons here:

Myself I use the free and Open Source PDFCreator with no problems.
