Maurice Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 CA16 new PDF printer is not printing in Colour even when print in colour dilog box is ticked. The PDF printer that was available with prior versions still does, so is this a bug or is colour printing not a feature of their save as PDF option ?

glennw Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Maurice, Works for me. Are you seeing color on your layout page? Are you seeing color in the page preview in the Print Layout dbx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamlinBC Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm also having this same issue... It shows color in the preview, but the actual PDF is in greyscale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 You also need to set your PDF driver to color or it will be whatever its set at no matter what Chief says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm not having any issues but after reading the above posts I've become curious... What is a PDF driver?? I have PDF printers and a PDF reader. I wasn't aware of a driver. Can someone clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeze_Wood Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 my problems with there PDF went away when I created a new templet using the X6 file new plan .... was your plan brought up from X5 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 yes it was brought up from a CA 15 layout template so the new template you made was a layout ? which will not take long, but for me to make a new plan template would be a nightmare with all the customization done. I will try making new layout template, and see if that fixs it. And yes it shows colour in previews Glen and page just prints as grey scale, prints fine in old pdf printer in colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I got old and a new layout printing in colour with CA16 save as PDF feature, its got nothing to do with new or old layouts, its the setting in drawing sheet setup, if you tick box " remember print settings after printing" it will only print in grey scale, if you untick it and choose printer manually it saves pdf as colour, when you first alter this setting and save as pdf it freezes (never ending circle of death) up adobe preview after printing, but if you close adobe and open up pdf manually it has saved fine in colour, after the first time it no longer freezes adobe on saving as pdf unless you change setting again At a guess bug and also probably a conflict in adobes document security when it attempts to open automatically after saving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
