Error when creating a PDF using pdf995 in landscape mode

[ratnakhilnani@antaryadesig]

Hi Please need help. I am trying to format a sheet, ARCH D, using Pdf995 from autocad 2018. When I change to landscape mode in printer properties I get the error below. Also  attached the screen shot. When it is in regular default portrait mode it works. How can this be solved as I need to create pdfs in landscape mode for city submittal. I also use a plot style while printing. The drawing orientation option for landscape does not work. I have to go in the printer Pdf995 options to change to landscape mode. thanks     Job: - Error(s) Did Not Plot Job ID: 6 Sheet set name: Date and time started: 1/6/2021 12:54:13 PM Date and time completed: 1/6/2021 12:54:13 PM UserID: Ratna Khilnani Profile ID: <<Unnamed Profile>> Total sheets: 0 Sheets plotted: 0 Number of errors: 0 Number of warnings: 0 ERROR: No Matching Media

Did you try DWG to PDF the default pdf plot device has worked fine for me over the years. No idea about pdf995.

We also use PDF995 in order to make PDF/A compliant drawings.
This printer driver works well with BricsCAD but we cannot get it to work with Landscape drawings in AutoCAD 2019.

As a workaround, you can print it in Portrait and then rotate it or print it in Landscape using the DWG_to_PDF.pc3 autocad default PDF driver. DWG_to_PDF.pc3 cannot print PDF/A compliant pdf though.

 

I think older builds of PDF995 comes with PDFedit995 also installed, which is another software to control de PDF995 behavior. It has an option to 1-click rotate de last printed PDF.

What is PDF/A ?

It is a standard for an archivable PDF.

 

Not sure why AutoCAD never made the option for it, could be $$$ or just not feeling it was important.

 

There are other PDF writers that have the ability, I would suggest contacting PDF995, AutoCAD 2019 is not supported by Autodesk now AFAIK. 

 

If it's a newer PDF995, it just may no longer be compatible with older AutoCAD.
