Hello all, Thanks for help and advice so far. I have now reinstalled the whole program, and reset it to factory settings but the issue is still there... I have compared my settings in PDF Export, in Vectorworks Preferences and in Document Preferences to my colleauge's, but sadly no joy. I am currently testing print to pdf rather than export to pdf. Is there anything else I can try?!

Thanks guys, that's really helpful. Pat, I'm afraid to add to the confusion, we appear to use exactly the same process. I am today hopefully going to go through mine and theirs just to make sure that everything is the same, but any other thoughts would be appreciated. It is getting to the point now where I am close to just reinstalling the whole program! Matt

Hi Pat, Thanks very much for your reply. As far as I can tell, all of our settings are the same - exporting at 300dpi with rasterize PDF turned off. Regards, Matt

Hi there, I am having issues with my pdf exports in that they are coming out at big sizes like 86mb, when they should be around 860kb! My colleagues are running the same Vectorworks version (2023), but when they open the file (which is around 20mb in size) and export to pdf they are getting suitable document sizes that we can easily email to clients. We therefore think it must be a problem with my Vectorworks setup but we cannot seem to locate it, having compared which boxes we have ticked during export etc. It also makes for slow opening of these pdfs, which seem to load in a layer at a time, from background to foreground, and quite slowly at that! Thanks, Matt
