Adobe Plot driver

ALD 2005

I have a couple of dwg's that when sent to the Adobe plot driver will
produce an incomplete pdf file. The 30"x42" sheet size is correct but half
of the sheet's drawing objects are not visible.

This plotter driver is also not assigning my ctb pen settings.

Any ideas??

It gets installed with Acrobat. I plot & create a pdf file.

 

Hello Dean,

Thanks for responding.

You will have to forgive me. I am new to Adobe Acrobat. I am talking about
the Adobe PDF Converter which installed as a Windows printer when Acrobat
was installed. I think I have to set the Post Script Custom Page Size in the
Advanced settings with each print to get the correct plot.

Try lowering the DPI once and just to see if that works. Also try creating
a pc3 file for it because AutoCAD does not always see the custom paper size
change unless you do it through the Properties button on the Plot Dialog and
create a pc3 or temporary pc3 file.

The ctb has to be your settings in the plot dialog because AutoCAD sets the
values in the ctb before sending the data to the printer. The only thing
the driver could be doing is to change the linewidths slighly because of the
dpi setting. At the lowest say 72 dpi you would be able to make changes in
(1/72) 0.013" increments. But at 300 dpi or higher it shouldn't make any
difference.

Or check out our AcroPlot software or one of our competitors because there
are a few of us who are much better at AutoCAD to PDF conversion then Adobe.
Maybe 5% of their market is the engineerig fields where 95% of ours is
AutoCAD users.
