export as pdf issues

[dave sec]

hi again!

if i export a drawing as a pdf, i don't seem to have an option to greyscale it.

if i export a drawing as a pdf (batch), there's an option to turn off color, but then for some bizarre reason the text on my drawing is totally blacked out. it doesn't happen when i export as an individual pdf.

can anyone help me with these two things?

VW is a what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) program. To grey out the drawing, you need to set the layers to grayscale before exporting or printing. If you are going to switch between the two modes often then save the layer settings as views; one for design and one for printing/exporting.

what i see on my screen are black fonts on a white background. when i export as pdf it exports beautifully. when i export as batch pdf, there's just a black rectangle where the text should be. i don't understand why these two options produce different outputs when they provide essentially the same function.

incidentally, how to i set my layers to grayscale?

thank you!
