Hi and welcome to the forum :)

I do not have any problem printing to PDF and have not heard of anyone else having issues with it either. I use PDF24 but it does not show a D (or even C) size paper so I cannot check it for you. In fact none of the printer drivers I have for different printers show a D or C size paper. All have A0 to A7, plus Letter, Legal, Executive and Custom. I would not expect that changing the paper would cause the image to distort - rather it should force another page if it would not fit.

What is the literal size of the paper? (so I can try a Custom to the same size)
Also can you post a screen image of the Print dialog box (Alt/Print Screen) so we can see the print settings you are using.

Hello,

Verify your PDF settings as well as the TFP printing settings and see if they match. Sometimes the PDF programs ignore the printing instructions from the drawing software
I had this problem in the past with an old version of Autocad, and using a program called "print to PDF"

For example, if you are trying to print to scale, check if your PDF printer is trying to print to fit page

If you have tried everything then it may be time to post the BLD file here or email it to me (alches AT iinet.net.au) and I will see if there is anything wrong with the file itself, and if it will print for me.  If it does it will prove it is an issue with your computer setup.
