From what I remember when enabling PDF export support to Labyrinth, there is no target paper size set by the code. I'm not aware of any Labyrinth PDF code changes between these releases. Output PDF dimensions are simply related to how large your mind map diagram is, with some vaguely sensible unit scale choice. The PDF is of course resolution independent so you can use printer options to fit for any size paper and still get smooth lines and fonts.

It may be possible to add some extra PDF export modes where we do scale to fit a specific page size (something like a 'Export to PDF A4' menu item). If folks think this is an important workflow, feel free to add an enhancement request ticket to the Labyrinth component at:
