Failure to display visible pdf file

[rjkdk]

For some reason I have not been able to generate a pdf file with visible lines fro the attached file. I will be very interested to learn the solution to this.

Works just fine if you print directly to a PDF printer (like acrobat distiller, cutepdf,etc...)

Thanks for trying.  Does this mean I need to buy another program? Is there nothing in Inventor 10 that can be set up to do this task?

Not sure with Inventor10 but with Inventor 2010 you can use the Export>PDF option.

I know when we have had issues we use a program  called "dopdf" .

It seems to work for us.

If this solved your issue please mark this posting "Accept as Solution".

Or if you like something that was said and it was helpful, Kudos are appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Oh dear Norton does not like this program so will not permit it to load!

I have been using Inventor 2010 for years with no difficulty/ saving as a pdf.  This image seems to be unusual. It is an oversized drawing 34" x 214 inches intended as a full sized template.

Perhaps the size has some bearing on the failure to display lines.

The PDF preview indicates visible layers but nothing shows up on the field of the  drawing.

Try changing the options in the Export>PFD from Standard to Hi-Quality or the DPI resolution.

Without the related IAM file and all the IPT files that are required to open the IDW file it would be a waste of time to even download the IDW and try. If you are going to send a IDW or IAM file, use the Pack-and-Go to collect all the required files.
