briankarol Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hello, I am trying to export a batch PDF of a drawing that has 8 individual sheet layers sized 11x17. Upon individual pdf exporting, no file exceeds 818kb, and it is successful. However, when i try to batch export, it freezes every time and crashes. I don't want the client to have to individually open each sheet when they are viewing. I am exporting to 72dpi, and tried rasterizing text. No luck. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 In my experience its likely a corrupt object (often text or viewport). The best way to troubleshoot it is to batch PDF by process of elimination (ie. batch process the first two sheets, then the first three etc.) to find out where the process is stalling. The other thing you might try is turning off Autosave. Kevin Quote Link to comment
briankarol Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Found 1 hang up with a viewport that didn't like being 2d. Turned off autosave, and had success saving sheets 1-4 together and 5-8 together, but not 1-8. 2 files is better than 8 files. i got an "out of memory" error a couple times, and an unspecified crash a few other times. Thanks for the tip, it did help. Quote Link to comment
dtheory Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have been having this issue as well. Crashing when attempting to export batch pdf... I have found that when this occurs, turning off "save viewport cache" in Document preferences seems to allow batch printing. This is on a file with about 20 sheets where the resulting pdf is under 5 megs. So, certainly not a huge file. In Activity Monitor, VWs pegs the processor at around 98-99 % Quote Link to comment
