Printing Current View

Post by Arnold »

If I print the current view as seen in the first page of the attached file to Fineprint (a virtual printer), I get what is shown in the 2nd page. Extra lines appear as if it is getting squished. The original blueprint is 40 inches x 30 inches and the Producer is listed as AccXES 11.1 Build 220. The application is listed as Adobe Acrobat 8.1 Combine Files. I tried telling FinePrint to stop emulating the destination printer, and set custom resolutions of 150, 300 and 600 dpi. That just increases or decreases the extra lines. However, if I print it as an image from PDFXV all is well.

I am just curious about a few things. Are there any disadvantages to printing as an image? Is this happening because the file is just a graphic, i.e. no fonts? If this was text that I could highlight, and I printed this view to another pdf file using PDF-XChange 4.0, would the text remain intact in that new file?

Thanks.

Hi Arnold,

this also requires a particular specialist to look at, Ivan, the man we need to look at this will be unavailable until Monday. He will take a look Monday. I hope this won't cause too much issue.

Sincerely
Best regards

Yes, it is more out of curiosity. As I mentioned in my post, printing this same view with the "Print as Images" box selected works just fine. Thank you.

Problem is because the image in the PDF is slightly rotated, and your printer is a PCL based printer.

I don't know why, but if a rotated image is printed on a PCL printer, black lines appears on the edges of printed images...
