pt_keegan Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Hi all, I'm trying to plot a 48" x 210" PDF using adobe PDF(forgive me if I am using the incorrect jargon). Setting up the layout is no problem and I have the custom page size working fine but when I try to plot I get the following: File: XXX\L-baseplan.dwg Category name: Page setup: Device name: Adobe PDF.pc3 Plot file path: Paper size: PostScript Custom Page Size MESSAGE: Error : The operation completed successfully. ERROR: The device has reported an unknown error. Here's the crazy thing; if I set the custom size to 11" x 210" I can plot no problem.... Using AutoCAD 2012 and Adobe PDF driver Anyone have any ideas? Gracias Edited January 13, 2012 by pt_keegan formatting Quote
SLW210 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Did you try the DWG to PDF.pc3 that comes with AutoCAD? Quote
pt_keegan Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 I have not and will give it a shot but I am still curious as to why the Adobe PDF is not working. Quote
pt_keegan Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Did you try the DWG to PDF.pc3 that comes with AutoCAD? Well I tried to create a custom page size but was unable to create one that large. I would get an error when creating the custom page. Seems like a universal problem with PDF print drivers? Quote
SLW210 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Try the DWF plotter. Strange the PDF seems to go no more than 200" long with a 48" width. Quote
