YZ Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 What software are you using to create the PDF? Did you create the Adobe PDF_A3.pc3 file? You might need to look at the Custom Settings in that file. Separate to that, I recommend you use the default "DWG to PDF.pc3" file. Since 2010 it improved to the point where we stopped using 3rd party PDF creators altogether. Quote
Sunnycoast Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks for your help. That solved the problem. I obviously had some Custom Settings that were not compatible. Now use "DWG to PDF.pc3" with success. Thank you again. Quote
YZ Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 I'm glad it worked out. I feared it would be more complicated than that. Quote
