Problems with the PDF995 Driver

    I have installed the PDF995 printer driver from Adobe so I can output
    Autocad drawings to PDF files. I have been encountering the following
    problem when plotting to files:

    1) Open a drawing and plot to PDF. I am prompted for a filename, with the
    open drawing name as default. I save the file using the default name.
    2) Open a second drawing and plot to PDF. When prompted for a filename, the
    name of the previous drawing is the default. I change the filename to the
    current drawing and save it.
    3) I open the 2nd PDF file. It contains the 1st drawing, not the 2nd.
    4) I plot the 2nd drawing again and when the filename dialogue pops up
    (again with the 1st drawing as default), I cancel the plot. I then plot
    again. This time the correct filename is default and I accept it.
    5) I open the 2nd PDF file. It contains the correct drawing, but it is
    inverted (upside down).

    This problem is recurrent and occurs with both the System Printer Driver as
    well as the customized PC3 driver file.

    If anyone else has encountered this problem, I would appreciate your help.

    Neil,
    I have not had that specific problem, nor have I used PDF995 much, but I did
    have a number of problems (specifically scaling and location on page issues)
    with ADT3.3/Acad2002 and CutePDF/Adobe Acrobat. I found that all problems
    went away once I switched to Acad2004 or higher. I actually used the 'free
    PDF on every desktop' argument to push for R2005, which I hope to roll out
    with CutePDF next week.

    Best,
    Gordon
