PDF options

 

Glen has had issues with saving SW drawings as PDF. This issues include transparency not being transparent, parts missing, parts showing though other parts.

 

The resolve seemed to be related to PDF settings. Once we changed to the following settings everything seemed fine.  

 

 

File save as in SW drawing.

 

 

Click options and insure the following is selected.

Export PDF in color.

Embed fonts. The font definitions become part of the document, which increases file size but guarantees that the fonts are as defined in the original document.

High quality lines. For drawings only. Vectored lines are drawn double precision for best quality. Increases file size and time to save file.

Shaded/Draft geometry DPI. For drawings only. Controls dots per inch setting. An increased value improves quality while increasing file size and time to save file.

High quality shaded edges. For drawings only. The edges of shaded views are drawn with vectors instead of being raster-drawn. Increases time to save file.

Print header/footer. Uses the header and footer specified in File, Print, Header/Footer.

Use specified printer line weights (File, Print, Line Weights). When cleared, the default printer line weights are used.
