allaboutkitchens Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've been using Chief since version 6 (not X6). I cannot print a specific files layout to pdf. It gets stuck on page 8 of 16 (always). Anybody else having this problem with one or more file. It just started doing this today. I updated to Windows 10 last Friday, but just printed another layout to pdf without any problems. It is a much smaller file. But that makes me wonder if somehow my file became corrupt for this. I am not having any other problems with Chief. No unusual crashes, etc. I have done all the usual immediate remedies...rebooted, fixed any broken registry links, cleaned my cache. I will call Tech Support in the a.m....but thought maybe y'all might have a solution before they open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Adel, Just a wild guess. Have you tried Clear Printer Info? I would be surprised if that was it though. Something corrupt on page 8? Save a copy of the layout and delete page 8 and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaboutkitchens Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Good idea. Hadn't. Didn't work. It's hung up on page 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaboutkitchens Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 I will try deleting page 8 to see if it will print that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Or maybe, instead of deleting page 8, just delete the layout boxes (and any other info) and leave page 8 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaboutkitchens Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Oh so very interesting! I deleted page 8. It hung on the new page 8. I switched page 8 with page 7...so now page 8 is page 7...it hung up on page 7! I'm pretty fried at the moment. I think I will send my file to tech support tonight and see what they say tomorrow. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaboutkitchens Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 GlennW, I left in page 8, deleted everything on it. It now hangs up on page9! Tech Support time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Adel, Sounds like some sort of memory limit. Tech support is there to help - that's what we pay SSA for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Have you tried using another pdf printer to see if it is Chief'so end of things? Foxing for example which is free download or even Windows built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
