AndyM Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I am having problems making pdf's with Acrobat 5.0.1. It works fine with other apps. When using the 'pdf writer' printer objects are moved all over the page. When using distiller is takes 10-15 minutes to print with the same result. It is not specific to any one file. Any ideas?

AndyM Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 I did have scaling turned on through the printer properties. I turned it off and it works fine now! Thanks Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Andy, This is an issue with distiller on Windows. If you set the scaling in the Print menu, the print out does weird things. If you want to scale it down, set the scale percentage in Print Setup instead of Print. It should work in that dialog box correctly. Quote Link to comment
AndyM Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 After further research it has something to do with hybrid objects. I can start with a new doc, make a simple hybrid and it happens. 2d only and 3d only objects print just fine. I have tried re-installing acrobat.

Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Andy, When you go to print these files to PDF, are you scaling down the drawing with the percentage any? If so, are you setting it in the Print dialog box or in the Print Setup dialog box? If you are NOT scaling the file, can you please send it to me? tech@nemetschek.net?subject=ATTN:Katie Please put a link to this post in the body of the email. Quote Link to comment
