I am using a G4, 400MHz Mac with 704MB RAM and system 10.3.3. I send pdf files to the printers for plotting. Originally, when I made pdf files through the vectoroworks program in the print dialogue box, the print out usually had toned areas wherever I used a white fill. Now with the Vectorworks 10.5, I use the Rasterize button in the print dialogue box (under Vectorworks 10.5 button). This gives a very good print result, but I am finding that after creating one or two pdf files, my hard drive partition is almost full - from 1.2 GB to 100MB. The pdf files are usually between 1 and 4MB in size. I need to restart my machine to free up the space. There is plenty of space in the other partitions where I store my project files, but I don't know if there is a way for the program to use this space when it runs out. Has anyone else come across this problem? I would have thought that after creating the pdf, the hard drive space would be back to where it waswithout needing to do a restart or shutdown.
