PDF Creator Fatal Error

[Fuscha]

So I got a problem with a Drawing. I got 2 layouts from the same model space, the first one can be converted just as usual but when I`m trying to plot the second one I`m getting a fatal error. I already tried to copy it into a new layout and tried different PDFcreators such as PDF24 but it`s always the same. There are no special elements or such things in the layout. Ok so I just found out that the problem is the transparency because i can plot it without but i never had that problem before, i even plotted a drawing with transparency today.

Hi,

>> tried different PDFcreators

Have you tried the AutoCAD-internal driver "DWG to PDF.pc3"? That would have been my first choice.

>> Ok so I just found out that the problem is the transparency

Plotting with transparency needs a lot more memory, so if you don't need it (if there is nothing transparent) switch it off ... and you get a smaller PDF, with higher quality in less time.

Yes I guess the problem is the transparency...I tried with another drawing but somehow AutoCAD got a problem with it. The PDF had 3MB without transparency and 90MB with haha. But anyway thanks for the help.
