    Hello,

     

    I have a problem on inventor 12:

    When i export a file abc.idw in pdf, the file abc.pdf can't be print.

    i think it's a restriction problem but there is no restriction on inventor. So i think the problem come from pdf creator (wich is install on my computer too).

     

    i have surch few hours but i don't find anything. 

     

    Do you have a idea?

     

    Think you.

    Try printing abc.idw to PDF Creator instead of exporting.  Does this work?

    PDF Creator is a Print-Driver that creates a PDF without any layers. Use it just like a printer. The Export to PDF within Inventor is a file creation that is not using PDF Creator, but is using Inventor with Adobe code to create a PDF file with layers and possible a newer version PDF than what is created with PDF Creator.
