pdf is being trimmed

Hello:

After either publish or plot-to-pdf, the pdf sheet of one file is being shown trimmed. I have attached two images of both, the pdf result and the layout screen shot to show the problem.

For your consideration, this problem appears in both ACAD 2010 and 2012, in cpu's that otherwise publish/plot correctly to pdfs. The problem seems to be file-related.

Also, the unwanted croping seems to be some sort of frame around the drawing; however, as you can see from the layout screenshot, the Page is correctly setup as the sheet shadow includes all of the drawing intended to be printed.

Thank you

Please ensure that you have set "Layout" under Plot area and also the the plot scale is the right one.

Hello MSasu:

Indeed, the Plot Area was set to "Window" (scale was correct). Once I changed to "Layout", it started plotting correctly, so thank you for the very spot-on suggestion.

However, I'm still concerned because "Window" is a very valid option (otherwise, what's the point of having it) and I have used it over many years, without a problem until now.

Once again, thank you

Glad to hear that your issue was solved!

When select "Window" option you need to define the area from drawing that you want to plot; in your case seems that that area was a little smaller than required.

Window outside area a few mm Lbot & Tright plus centre is on in PLOT if window is to big for scale it will still work.
