miles Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've been dealing with this issue for a while. Some of my VW files export pattern fills as nice smooth gray tones when exporting to PDF. Some files export them as the dots or 'zip' patterns that you see on-screen. Does anyone know what causes the different output to pdf? Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Is the On Screen Resolution setting different in the two situations? -B Edited December 3, 2014 by Benson Shaw Quote Link to comment

miles Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 No I've tried with and without the onscreen resolution checkbox. I typically print or export at 150dpi but it doesn't make a difference if I set to 300dpi. I'll attach some images to help illustrate the issue. Quote Link to comment
miles Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I have attached 2 files. One is a straight export to pdf and the other is a straight print to printer which I then scanned as a pdf so I could attach here. Quote Link to comment
miles Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 And here is an export to pdf I just did on a new drawing file I created. Which looks the way I want Quote Link to comment
