Thanks for your replies, the thing is the lines have come in with the, i think good quality, pdf so there's quite a lot of work to redraw them all (lots of shading lines). The pdf retains much better quality (text and black lines) than the same pdf converted to a range of image files and imported into CA, that's why i decided to use pdf, but it loses all the light grey in the pdf....i can see the grey in CA, the grey appears clearly in saved 'print images' out of CA, but not in a 'print' to pdf. Drawzilla i also see you have some good templates and systems in place (reading your other replies), do you ever share these?

Kia ora, i am having no trouble printing to pdf (though using X6 and the options in printer name drowndown box are 'Adobe PDF' or 'Save as PDF'); however, light grey lines do not come out on the pdf (nor when printing). I have imported a pdf, made notes on it, then saving, in CA, as pdf for printing. The original pdf has all the grey lines showing on it. If i save in CA as 'Print image' the grey lines show up but the quality is vastly reduced, likewise the size of the image is no longer A3. I've tried increasing the DPI, i've checked the drawing sheet set up in plan and layout...cheers,
