JECORMIER Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Ok, so I send my elevations to layout and finalize them. They look just like I want them. The customer wants a pdf so he can print them. When I send the layout page to .pdf they look washed and completely dull. My dimensions look fine but the rest of the elevations don't look good at all. FYI, I tried printing them directly to my printer and they come out just fine. I did not make a pdf of them for my printer first either, just direct print from layout. Hmmmm. Any suggestions?

DRAWZILLA Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I also see this and I think it has something to do with transparency's but they print out ok for me. What PDF program do you use. I use Adobe Acrobat DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL-inc Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Check to see that you are sending to layout as plot lines. Good looking plan btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 You don't have to send everything as plot lines ,sending as standard view will not have lines, it just a matter of preference . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
