there is a reoccurring problem with Publish to PDF and I can’t find out why it happens and how to fix it.
I Publish to PDF resulting with the VP renderings being fine. But at times the file size is too large to email.
So in order to reduce the file size I chose all pages in the 'Publish' window and select “Publish to PDF - Options” with for example Export Settings - Resolution changed from 300 dpi to 200 dpi.
That usually that works fine and the main thing is that the VP renderings still have a good quality / resolution.
... now here is the problem ...
---> ever so often all rendered Viewports have a black background once the PDF is created out of VW - this happens when I changed the dpi within the Publish Options Settings. See screenshots attached.
I know I could reduce the dpi on each sheet layer, but in general this will result in lower res renderings which at times I can't sent to my clients.
Also if I publish as usual with no changes to the DPI settings and then alternatively reduce the file size within Adobe Acrobat“Save as Other —> Reduced Size PDF” then there is no possibility to set the DPI rate and the VP renderings lose a lot of their quality. Plus it is a 2-step process which I'd like to avoid.
But why is this black background happening and how can this be prevented?
