Troubleshooting problems with printing PDF's from Revit and Cad files

I am unable to print a readable pdf from AutoCad and Revit.  Any Suggestions?  I do not have problems with Microsoft or Adobe products..Just AutoCad.  I have already spoken with my AutoCad dealer and they concluded it was an Adobe issue.

How was the PDF file created? With the Adobe plug-in to AutoCAD?
If you can provide some samples, we could look at the files and determine the problem. And FWIW, I doubt that your AutoCAD dealer has the competence to conclude where the problem is with a PDF file.

  • Problem with printing pdf file

    hello,
    lately i have problem with printing pdf file:
    i click on the print button and the respod is very slow
    it takes more than a minute till the print window apears.
    i tryied to install version X but it's the same, the problem exist only when printing via adobe reader,
    other programs i'd working much faster.
    please advice,
    thank you

    No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

  • Problem with printing pdf

    IF POSSIBLE REPLY IN ITALIAN
    HI, i ve got a big problem.
    i 've to create an A0 page in vectorial pdf, which has connected different files: .psd files for the images with transparency, and vectorial .pdf for the drawings from cad.
    When i ve created my page, i export that in print pdf high quality.
    1° problem: sometimes it fails and tells me there s not enough memory
    2° problem: when print pdf is created, the plotter can t load it to print, it stops at 40% loading.
    there s a way to make an easy vectorial print pdf?
    using vectorial eps instead of vectorial pdf?
    using transparent tiff instead of psd?
    THANKS

    thank you for the fast reply Peter. Im working on an achitecture poster for my last exam, and it contains vector graphics sometimes overlayed on raster images.
    i don t like to use illustrator too, im using 3 programs already to create this poster. do u think .ai are easier than eps???
    i ve tryed to save new pdf without layers, but it didn t work. then i ve tryed to change pdf with eps on indesign, and now the print pdf saving is really faster. im gonna try to plot it and then i ll tell u what s changed.
    OH most important, i was drag n dropping pdf into indesign, and i read it s really wrong! so now i import vector eps to indesign ...
    Plot test...

  • Problem with printing PDFs as 6 slides pr. page.

    Hi!
    I am having trouble printing PDFs as handouts with 6 slides on one page.
    I go through all the settings for the printer, and the print comes out ok, but the slides are printed up side down and in the wrong order.
    Even though I have set the order in the printer settings.
    Anyone had the same problem?
    Hope you can give me some advice.
    Regards, 
    Elisabeth
    PS! I do not have access to the original powerpoint presentation, otherwise I know I could print from that file...

    Thank you, it worked!

  • Problem with print pdf and ordering book

    Hi,
    the function save as pdf, or print pdf, seems not working anymore: the pdf extracted in fact is empty (white pages). I have tried it on several books project, including some I had printed previously, with the same result. Any idea of the possible reason and how to fix it?
    Also, if I try to order the book, my photo are visible (at least the cover) but I can't preview the whole book. And, when I try to purchase it, I've an error message saying that there is not enough memory for the book, please quit aperture and try again (tried, but no results).
    Also, even more strange: I downloaded the latest update package, and when I launch it an error message appears that says "Aperture 3 or later version must be installed"... but I have version 3.1.1! So...
    Can somebody please help?
    Many thanks in advance,
    cheers

    Have you tried the tips shown at [Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805] that might help.
    Also, even more strange: I downloaded the latest update package, and when I launch it an error message appears that says "Aperture 3 or later version must be installed"... but I have version 3.1.1! So..
    For the updates to work Aperture must be installed in the systems Application folder and be named Aperture not Aperture.3.1.1 or anything else. Is that the case in your situation?

  • Printing PDF brochure from Preview and only graphics print, no text

    Spent 30 minutes on the phone with Lexmark. They said with Windows, you would select "Print as Image" under the advanced printing dialogue. I don't see anything like this in MacOS. If I save the PDF as a PNG, then open the PNG in Preview, it prints fine.

    I also had this "no text"-problem with a Lexmark C530dn when printing some PDFs from Preview on 10.5.2. The problematic PDFs all were datasheets and papers I downloaded from sources like SAP. I installed the newest version (2.0) of the C530 printer driver, but it did not help.
    Using "Generic Postscript Printer" works, but I loose duplex printing, for example. But printing the documents from Adobe Reader 8.1.2 works, too, and I can use the Lexmark driver and have duplex printing etc.

  • Problem with displaying the data from Database on swf file.

    Hi ,
      I am new to flash.Thanks in Advance Please help me....
    Actually my requirement is my application consists a button(submit_Btn) when we click on the button(submit_Btn), each time it must to database(through servlet) and brings the data from database and places it on the flash swf file.Here my problem is for the first time when we click on the button it goes to database and place the data(which was returned from database) on the swf file.Next  when we click on the button for the second time(or anytime) it is not going  and bringing the new data from database(if some data is modified in database or not),Infact it is showing the old data(the data that was collected from previous ClickListener) only on the swf file and it is also not showing any complile time or run time error.
    my Code looks like this:
    submit_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onCheck2);
    function onCheck2(evnt:MouseEvent):void {
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
        var xmlurl:String = "http://localhost:8888/xmlServlet";
        var xmlrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(xmlurl);
    xmlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlcompleteHandler);
    xmlLoader.load(xmlrequest);
    function xmlcompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
        var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
        var succData:String=loader.data;
            var xmlData:XML = new XML();
            var xmlList:XMLList;
            xmlData = XML(loader.data);
            xmlList = xmlData.children();
            for (var i=0; i<xmlList.length(); i++) {
                for (var n=0; n<xmlData.UserHumanap[i].HumanapDot.length(); n++) {
                        var x_coordinate:Number = xmlData.UserHumanap[i].HumanapDot[n].@x;
                        var y_coordinate:Number = xmlData.UserHumanap[i].HumanapDot[n].@y;
                        var point2:Point = new Point(x_coordinate,y_coordinate);
                        var circle:Sprite = new Sprite();
                        circle.graphics.beginFill(0x00ff00);
                        circle.graphics.drawCircle(point2.x,point2.y,3);   //Placing the data as dots on the swf file
    Thanks in Advance.......Please Help me..........
    its Urgent..........
    Thanks,
    Swarthi

    Checkout following line in your code
    var xmlurl:String = "http://localhost:8888/xmlServlet";
    now change it to
    var xmlurl:String = "http://localhost:8888/xmlServlet?random="+String(MAth.random());
    I think you will get the point now

  • Problem with printing pdf file created from Illustrator

    Hello,
    In a drawing I created with Illustrator 10.0.3 I covered part of a circle with a white rectangle (to make it disappear). I saved it as pdf. When printing the pdf (under Linux with a HP printer), the covered part reappeared. However the pdf-file is how it should be. Anybody knows what the problem is?

    No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

  • Problem with printing after migrating from 3.5 to 4.1

    Hello everyone,
    I'm currently working on an application that was recently migrated (by someone else) from Flex 3.5 to Flex 4.1 and I discovered the printing doesn't work properly anymore. So I tried to find out what the problem was and after many tries, I came to the conclusion that the problem was within the following line:
    printJob.addObject(myPrintView,FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
    (Of course "myPrintView" is not the real name used in the app but that's not important)
    I searched on the Internet and this line is supposed to work in 4.1, isn't it? However, the printed version cuts my PrintAdvancedDataGrid approximately in half. I tried to change the width property from myPrintView but the grid is still cut at the same place, its cells are just distorted.
    FYI, you can find a part of the code right here:
    var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
                        if (printJob.start()) {
         //A lot of code to build the print view
    myPrintView.width=1280;
    printJob.addObject(myPrintView,FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
    printJob.send();
    myPanel.removeChild(myPrintView);
    Any help would be appreciated.

    While looking for a solution on the Internet I found some people having troubles because of the structure of their AdvancedDataGrid. My problem doesn't come from any example I've seen but maybe it's still linked to that, so here's an AdvancedDataGrid that's being printed in my app:
                                                    <mx:PrintAdvancedDataGrid dataProvider="{dataRayon}" sortExpertMode="true" id="dataGridRayon" width="100%" itemClick="dispatchEvent(new KpiEvent(DATAGRID_RAYON_CLICK,event));" itemDoubleClick="dispatchEvent(new KpiEvent(DATAGRID_RAYON_CLICK,event));" creationComplete="resizeGridRayon();" >

                                                      </mx:columns>
                                            </mx:PrintAdvancedDataGrid>
    I also realised I wasn't very clear on the outcome of my doPrint() function. When I said the grid was cut in half, I was talking about half the columns not showing on the printed version, not half the rows. Actually even a column being cut in half. I hope these precisions made my problem a bit clearer and somebody will be able to help me in any way (even just hints).
    Thanks for your help.

  • Problem with editable pdf's from mac to pc

    I created an editable pdf document with Adobe Acrobat Pro.  Users on a mac typed in the document and saved it and that all worked fine.  Then they tried to open on a pc and the document was blank.  Has anyone experienced this or have a suggestion?

    It sounds like they used Apple's Preview to fill in the forms.  If that's the case, what you're seeing is expected behavior.  Preview doesn't handle form data properly.
    I would suggest you ask your users to install Adobe Reader XI to ensure that form data is preserved when saving the PDF: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • Problem with printing a PDF

    Hi All,
    I'm developing a web application written in J2EE that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports from some filters recovered from a jsp and passed to a report .rpt previously designed and invoked just at runtime.
    I have a problem with printing a PDF:
    I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
    with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
    Can anyone help me?
    I wish a great day to You all.

    Hi Ted Ueda,
    sorry for the delay of my answer.
    I understand very well the problems related to security.
    With the following code that I used to produce a report (PDF) at runtime,
    is the PDF created on the server and then sent to the client, or is it directly created on the client as PDF
    from RTF previously realized?
    ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
    String report = report path;
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
    reportClientDoc.open(report, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
    Object reportSource = null;
    reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
    //The method setConnectionProperties() stores all the connection parameters in the collection
    //ConnectioInfos
    ConnectionInfos connInfos = setConnectionProperties(request, reportClientDoc);
    exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
    exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
    exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
    exportControl.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
    //Single method to pass parameters to Crystal Reports. Using classes ParameterFieldController and
    //ParameterFieldDiscreteValue
    setReportParametersValue(reportClientDoc, reportParameters, subReportParameters);
    ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
    //Set the export format (PDF)
    exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
    PDFExportFormatOptions PDFExpOpts = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
    exportOptions.setFormatOptions(PDFExpOpts);
    exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
    exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
    try {
          exportControl.getHtmlContent(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext());
    } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {
    throw new ApplicationException("error code", ": error message"); }               
    As, however, I predicted in my previous message about the direct printing on the client,
    I read about ActiveX, but I don't know how to use them.
    I read this information in the 'Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide' about "printMode" attribute:
    "In ActiveX print mode, an ActiveX control is downloaded to the client machine and the report is send directly to the printer...."
    The ActiveX alternative is a java applet that runs on the client and takes the pdf from the server and prints directly onto the clients through the commands that I used in the DOS command line:
    1)     AcroRd32.exe /p /h FILENAME
    where
    /p = print
    /h = hide window
    to print the report and
    2)     tkill AcroRd32
    to close Adobe Reader, because it doesn't end automatically after printing and the command  /h  is used just to minimize the process.
    I hope you can give me advice because I need to print directly on the client. Thank you

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

    Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.  Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well.  Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro.  The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF.  Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked.  It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.
