j100 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Help, the lineweights are fine when on the "preview" setting, but when printing them to PDF some appear extremely thick while other ones appear fine. What do I do?? Thanks Quote
GhostRider Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 hmm... not sure it could be many things, 2 that come to mind to check are the lineweights of the heavy printed objects and the pen assignments in the plot style table editor.. Quote
j100 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 yeah i already did all that, i mean the text that comes out thick and the text that comes out thin and the way it's supposed to are on the same layer...and therefore the printing properties are the same...which is what doesn't make sense...

GhostRider Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 are they the same color also ? the pen settings are by color usually, or that's the way I have it set up... Quote
mugshot Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 what version of acrobat reder/ pdf you are using? in acrobat 5.0 expect to be your line to be on a default lineweigth, try using adobe acrobat 6.0. Quote
j100 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Posted October 23, 2008 yeah, the colors are exactly the same, it's on the SAME LAYER as to adobe, i have the latest version. Quote
mugshot Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 we are using acrobat 6.0 and print it on .pdf(monochrome) and it goes out just the same, since one of our office pc is installed with acrobat 5.0, all the lineweight and text goes funky, try setting the option of your acrobat(latest version) or use acrobat 6.0 Quote
mugshot Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 one more... try setting up the lineweight on the cad. try to separate layers on each purpose, seldom use DEFAULT lineweight on layers ok. Quote
hazardman Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 does it print out on paper ok from acrobat?..i suspect it will as acrobat sometimes has a problem displaying it on screen correctly but it will print fine... Quote
Jimmeh Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I am having this same trouble, and i have tried all the same! When you print from the PDF, it still shows the thick lineweights! Quote
wannabe Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Try printing as an image from the advanced options. Quote
