PDF Problems

Aug 18, 2006 8 Replies

I don't remember when, (a while back), I started having trouble printing to Acrobat 5. If there's a bitmap in my dwg, like my stamp and sig, they are printing "mirrored" in the Y, and so are not of much use. If I mirror them in the dwg, they look fine in the pdf. I tried tinkering with a bunch of settings in Acrobat without success.



Anyone have a fix for this?

Acrobat 5 is a piece of junk and had lots of problems. Upgrade to Acrobat

7 Professional and the PDF problems should disappear.

BTW, I made a stamp and sig in Acrobat and paste them into the PDF, then make the PDF as a "Print Only". Using this procedure it's possible to have the PDF be in black & white (from your cad program) and have the Stamp and Sig be in color. Print the PDF to a color printer and you have a b&w print with stamp & sig in color.

Are you plotting upside down? I have an Excel file in a drawing and when I print upside down, my normal print setting for the sheet number to come out first, the Excel file prints upside down. Chuck

Are the bitmaps orientated horizontal or vertical? Chuck
