Problem with dashed line spacing when printing to pdf

Hi all,
this may be a problem with my pdf program (I use bluebeam), but maybe someone will have an idea how to fix it whether in indesign or bluebeam.
so I made a dashed line using the stroke command in indesign. I need to have the spacing set to 3pt dash and 2pt space. I also need to keep the lineweight to 0.5...this all works fine and appears correctly in indesign when I preview
the problem is that some of the dashed lines, but not all of them, change size and spacing in the pdf when I view it. it seems to change when I zoom in and out as well. I thought maybe this was just some odd feature with bluebeam and it would still print to the correct size, but it does not, it prints the lines as different sizes. does anyone have an idea why this happens and how to fix? ive viewed and printed from adobe reader and it seems to be okay there but this file will be accessed by multiple other people and they may not be opening and printing in adobe reader..
thanks guys

When you export a PDF you will notice that you are exporting to Adobe PDF. Using any reader beyond Acrobat Pro or Reader is a crapshoot.
For issues with Bluebeam I suggest you contact the developer.

  • Problem with Acrobat XI license when printing to PDF, despite having CC

    Hi
    I have a Creative Cloud membership and all programs seem to work correctly, including Acrobat XI Pro.
    There is a strange problem though - when I try to print something from Microsoft Word 2013 and chose "Adobe PDF" as the printer (which creates a PDF from the document) an Acrobat window opens, titled "Acrobat XI-Pro Testversion", stating that the testversion has expired and asking to license the product. If i click on the "license this software" button, another screen shows up that states it wants to login with my Adobe-ID (showing my correct adobe ID e-mail address). Clicking on 'login' however leads to a third screen that just has 6 blank boxes and the request to enter a serial number (but since I have CC, I don't have a serial number for acrobat XI Pro).
    I already uninstalled Acrobat XI-Pro and reinstalled it (through CC) but the problem persists.
    Anyone got an idea what is causing this?

    Hi,
    I have the exact same problem. I have noticed that the screen asking for the serial number is on my OS language (Danish). If I deactivate photoshop and activate again the same screen is in English and allows me to login and register the license with no problems. Only when printing with the Adobe PDF printer I get the problem!!
    Anyone?

  • OS X 10.8  Problems with images and layout when printing to PDF from any web browser

    Hi there,  I just bought a new macbook air and running OS X 10.8.  This problem happens in both Safari or Chrome:  When I go to print to a PDF file, the website suddenly drops most images and formatting, ending up in a very old-fashioned layout.  Is this something new with OS X 10.8, or any other suggestions as to what I can do?

    Yes if it prints to a printer in the same manner, and it occurs regardless of browser it is the website.

  • Problem with custom book size and print to PDF

    I'm trying to create a 20 page 8x8 book which consists of 10 16x10 spreads. In other words, page 1 and page 20 are not start on the right and left respectively, there are exactly 10 16x10 spreads. This is a requirement for KISS wedding books. I am running into two problems:
    1. The album designer seems to be forcing me to have the first page consist of a single 8x8 page, even though the last page can consist of a 2 page spread.
    2. When I do print to PDF, I get 20 8x8 pages. If I change the paper size to 16x8, each 16x8 spread is followed by a single 8x8 repeat of the right side of the previous 16x8 spread. I could live with the 20 8x8 pages if there was an easy way to recombine these as 10 16x8 pages.

    PS: Since my edit timed out, I was going to add speculation of a way in
    ColorSync to enable or make Filters which could be used to save settings,
    at least for color and printer matching schemes, this is supported in PDFs.
    Not sure where I could take up where I left off to write a PS to my own post;
    since I had a few links to documents I found by doing some research reading.
    These may be related, but perhaps not directly enough to be of help.

    {And if you have Acrobat, the retail application, you likely have
    several other printing options unavailable to a reader app; in
    that PDF print settings may be encoded into a document.}
    In any event, I'm on my way out to talk to that neighbor's dog...
    (The one I mentioned in my timed-out post that had been
    barking up the wrong tree, while I was concentrating.)

  • Pages Messes with My Line Spacing when I save a document

    When I open up a saved document in Pages--at least when I saved it as a .doc--the first line of my poems is usually one or two lines down from the top of the page, even though I've saved it on the top line of the page. Does that make sense? It's as if in the process of saving and reopening it Pages somehow moves down the first line of the document. Sometimes it's one line, sometimes it's two, and sometimes it doesn't happen, or it only happens to certain pages out of a fifty page document. I'd appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening and how to solve it! I'm sending out a book of poems from my new macbook, and it's driving me to distraction!

    Hi Professor C
    Welcome to the forum.

    I'll see if I can spot what is causing the problem.

  • Problem with page breaks in IE when printing to PDF

    Hey,
    I am having formatting issues with IE when printing to pdf, I have a dynamically created report which has page breaks at the end of each page, if I open this report(report is in html) in firefox and goto print the formatting is correct, if I open the same report in IE and print the report 80% of the pagebreaks are in tact, 20% are ignored which just makes the report look rubbish, my question is,( I know it not directly related to the reader but was unsure on which forum to post) is there a different css or formatting I should use to make IE play ball.
    Cheers
    Tom.
    the style I use to insert pagebreak is
    <code>
    .breakhere {page-break-before: always;}
    code I then use to implement it is.
    <TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=100% CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 CLASS="breakhere">
    </code>

    You may use a forum for IE.

  • HT2513 When accept an appointment in iCAL, I often get a box with dashed lines.  What does that mean and how do I correct it

    The appointment appears in iCal as a box with dashed lines.  I have been unable to find out wha this means and a method to change it to a normal solid box.

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are safely connected go to the iPod Summary tab and make sure "manually manage music and videos" is checked:

  • WRT160N - problem with on-line games and downloading

    Hi,
    Several months ago I bought a WRT160N router and I have a strange problem.
    When I play online games, such as QL, and someone else will start downloading from the Internet, from time to time about 10 sec I have 999 ping
    I turned on in the background ping to the router, and from time to time about 10 sec there are 2-3 ansewers with 1900-2000 ms.
    I tought that when I buy router with N-mode everything will work better, and there will be no problems with on-line gaming.
    Is there any way to fix this problem??

    I checked now and even no one is downloading there is the same problem.
    I checked on other router and it works fine.
    Next problem is when I browse youtube and play several films simultaneously, suddenly there are no responses from router, when I close them, and wait for a moment the responses are back.
    Whether anyone had similar problem??

  • Bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar software - is it a 64 bit problem?

    Had bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar Principia Pro software - is it a 64 bit compatability problem? All other software I have can print
    to Acrobat pdf, but in Morningstar the Window 7 PC freezes and not even Task manager can
    unfreeze the computer. Acrobat worked fine in my old XP 32 bit PC when printing from Morningstar. Recently a webinar using
    an Adobe webinar software I was told I must only use a 32 bit browser, so I suspect Acrobat is incompaitble with my new 64 bit PC. Work around solution is to print to Microsoft XPS and then convert to Acrobat but I want to use Acrobat only! Is there a patch for people using 64 bit PCs?
    Can someone at Adobe respond to me, please? I have used Acrobat for over 10 years and am very loyal.

    Michael: I have tested other programs ability to print to Acrobat and also tested ability for other programs to
    export to Excel or Word. The only crash is when printing an Acrobat pdf from Morningstar Principia Pro I get a bad crash. The work around is to print to XPS and then convert the XPS file to Acrobat pdf. To get out of the crash which can't be fixed by Windows Task Manager shut down, is to open the printer file and tell the printer to delete the pending print job.
    I'm using latest Version 9.3.4 Standard Acrobat; Win 7 Pro 64 bit, 10 g of RAM, HPE 390t standalone PC, no networking.

  • How do you set the line spacing when using the Append Text Table to Report VI?

    I have a table of numbers which I wish to print using the report generation VI's. Since each column has a different numerical format, I first convert the number for each cell to a string with the appropriate format and then build a string array to pass to the Append Text Table to Report VI. The table is printed with double line spacing. How do I reset this for single spacing?

    Dave,
    The issue is not with the NI-Reports functionality, but the Array to Spreadsheet String funvtion in the for loop. Here is the context help for this function:
    "Converts an array of any dimension to a table in string form, containing tabs separating column elements, a platform-dependent EOL character separating rows, and, for arrays of three or more dimensions, headers separating pages."
    The thing to note here is that it says it adds an EOL (end of line) character at the end of every row. This is what is happening. Your first column of data has a \r\n in it and adds the second row to each data item. This in turn makes the rest of the columns have a larege blank space at the bottom so that all of the cell heights are equal. I w
    ould re-write that little bit of code so that you just do one large string concatenation of number, spaces, number, spaces, number and this should solve your issue.

  • Intermittent problem with the line

    I have an intermittent problem with my line which crackles or you miss parts of a conversation because voices spoken or listened to keep coming and going all the time or the phone cuts out altogether
    Telephone the help line which said that the line was OK at that moment as they did the other time I called keeps on happening on a daily basis every time we get a call.
    Next door neighbour and other neighbours around this close all linked to the same local bt or open reach cabinet all tell me they have the same problem.
    Neighbours called their own phone company who rent the line off of BT who got an open reach engineer out the next day and found that the local exchange or cabinet next to the house across the road from me all the phone line coverings have corroded away and that the wires are all damaged and corroding away or rotting away.
    So the local road (culdisack) has to be dug up and the exchange and wires have to be replaced from that junction box to the next junction box or exchange, what i want to know is when will this be done as all the neighbours and i have been reporting it to BT for ages but it was not till next door got their company to investigate was the problem found.
    How long till we have to wait for a repair and better lines back to a good service, Months, years. when?
    It would not be so bad but i have a lifeline connected to my phone so if i am in trouble it calls for help but with the fault with the line half the time it cannot get a single message or call out and before now i have been left on the floor for ages before someone came back home to get me off the floor as the box just said the phone line was disconected and could not get a dial tone or call out.

  • X-Fi Notebook has a problem with headset/line-in

    0X-Fi Notebook has a problem with headset/line-in` First the basics:
    -HP Pavillion dv6000
    -Intel Core 2 Duo @ .83 GHz
    -Windows Vista Home and Student (SP) 32 bit
    -3 GB RAM
    Ok, now the problem:
    -Ever since I got my Sound Blaster X-Fi card for this past christmas, I've had a problem with using the headset/lin-in port on it. Its only now that it's gotten to be a big enough irritation for me to need to fix it. I went to play some BF2 and hook up my earphone/microphone combo. The problem is, that the default recording device "Line-in" doesn't detect any sound when I have it plugged in. Further more, when I change it to "SB X-Fi micropone" it does detect my voice, but its on some kind of feedback loop, because it then transmits whatever the mic picks up onto my speakers/headphones/whatever I have plugged into it as an output. Its almost like they have the "line-in" and "microphone" functions either switched or blended into one. I did a complete reinstall of the drivers and software, but no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks guys

    Hi,
    What I mean is the microphone jack on your x-fi notebook. since you are saying you can hear yourself when you switch the recording source to microphone, I would assume that you have plugged in a microphone into your x-fi notebook. You should check if there is a microphone control on your volume mixer and whether it is unmuted if there is one. There are many sound card which allows for the microphone audio to be heard on the speaker output if the microphone source is unmuted.

  • I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab.  Everything else seems to work okay in itunes.  I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

    I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone.  Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay.  The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps.  The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up.  I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added.  If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it.  I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there.  I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems.  HELP.

    You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
