Hmmm. I viewed the PDF on a PC and like you see no difference. The curious thing is that, if I create the PDF with PrintoPDF the color display is correct on my mac. I use acrobat to view all PDFs. So I don't expect its the viewer nor my monitor display settings. There was no problem with Acrobat color rendition before upgrading the OS to 9.2.2 from 9.0.1 and VectorWorks to 10.5.x from 8.5. What platform/operating system are you using? I've added a couple of screen shots (simple text) that show what I see. Here's list of differences of VW w/ renderworks final shaded vs Acrobat PDF VW Tree limbs brown--PDF Tree limbs orange VW Parapet 2 tones of brown---PDF orange and rust VW OH door white w/ brown trim--- PDF OH door turquoise w/ orange trim VW Truck eggplant---PDF Truck is red In the PDF there is a turquoise cast to the siding click link to download http://evrtwa1-ar3-4-33-214-196.evrtwa1.dsl-verizon.net/

No change Set print resolution to 300 dpi printer specific resolution to 1200 dpi here's a link to a shared folder with a sample VW10.5 file and a PDF of same Click the folder: VW10.5 PDF Color Problem http://evrtwa1-ar3-4-33-214-196.evrtwa1.dsl-verizon.net/ You'll need to download then unstuff to view. The other folders contain pdfs and movies that were generated succesfully with VW8.5 under Mac system 9.0.1 BTW the Acrobat version is 5.0.5

MacOS 9.2.2 VW 10.5.1 When printing to PDF with adobe acrobat 5, I can't get colors to print correctly. They're not just a little bit off. They're wildly different. Its as if the color pallet were reduced to just a few instead of the usual 256. And while this is not a big deal if I'm sending a gray scale print job to the print shop, I can't show color renderings to clients. I didn't have this problem When using OS 9.0.1 and VW 8.5 see my post re: faxSTF for additional printing troubles.

MacOS 9.2.2 -VW 10.5.1 -FaxSTF 6.0.5 In order to use VW 10.5 I updated the OS and fax software. When printing to fax I get a notice: "The currently selected printer driver is not Carbon Compatible. If you use it you will probably encounter problems with Printing and Page Setup...." If I use it any way. it works but usually causes a crash. It either freezes or returns a type 10 error requiring restart. I've reinstalled FaxSTF from scratch, carefully following their removal and reinstallation instructions. Have others had this problem?
