Publishing / Exporting to PDF - looks great on screen, when printed rendering has glitches

[DianeEburne]

When I publish my sheet layers to PDF they look great, however when I have gone to print the rendering paged (in dashed hidden line setting) there are glitches. The lines seem to snap back to corners. Any advice appreciated.

Providing your Vectorworks version and Operating System information would probably help on solving this one.

 

Instructions on adding that information to your signature are in my signature below.

@DianeEburne Question - Printing from the Published PDF ? or Direct from VectorWorks ?

Hi Peter, Published in Vectorworks to PDF, then printed.

Did you use Adobe Acrobat Reader to print the PDF?  I know that Preview some other PDF viewers do not support knockout groups.

@Josh Loy expound on - please and thank you ...

 

Does not show up n the VW 2024 Help, though there are many "print problems" out on Adobe / Acrobat / In Design forums
