[fixed]Why does "remove white space" not work cad drawings?

Post by grassu »

Hi,

when I create pdf's with your pdf driver (v.4 actual build) from autocad civil 2010 the remove white space feature does not work (nothing is removed). See attached pdf. Creating pdf's from e.g. microsoft word the feature works as expected.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for help,
grassu

Hello Grassu,

There is actually a white background image in your file, and when you select to "remove white space" the Viewer is cropping the part that is outside this white rectangle, and the new page dimensions are 203.5 x 290.7 mm down from 210 x 297 mm.

See the attached screenshot.

Best,
Stefan

ah thanks for the info.
I forgot that there was the option mapplottransparency enabled in my autocad. With this option enabled all plots are created as rasterfile. Disabled and it works now.

Thanks.
