CADMASTER1128 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Good Morning, I was publishing a drawing this morning and noticed that a "mystery line" has appeared, only in the finished PDF. I have tried exploded the Attribute and that makes life more difficult. I have attached a couple pictures below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Did you solve your problem? If not, can you post a DWG file with the offending text in it? Don't need the entire drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEGAdevelopment Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Click on the text to open up the editor. Highlight all the text and make sure it is all the same format, except for the desired smaller fonts, etc. There could be a space or something before your text that has some different formatting on it. Also, what are you using to make the pdf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That color of blue murdered my retina. Is the line a part of the text or attribute? If it is, it might just be an l in a different text style or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I changed the justification of the text from LEFT to MIDDLE CENTER, and got rid of all the spaces you used to pad the text over to the middle. Using spaces to align and justify text like that is a time killer when it is so easy to just set the justification to something that doesn't load up the text block with extraneous junk. the Adobe pdf.pc3 you used and the AutoCad driver dwg to pdf.pc3 are both very touchy anyway. The line was visible using both pdf plotter/drivers. Corrected pdf attached via dwg to pdf.pc3. Winyah Bay2 - Copy-000.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Thank you so much for your help!!Not a problem. Sometimes it's the simplest things that cause more grief.
