Hi, when I export to pdf from a viewport, the pdf produced has a 'scratchy', grey quality to it. This seems to be caused by a google map image I have on one layer because if I remove it, the 'scratching' goes. Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks
I see. If I open your PDF with Preview app - the 'scratching' is not visible. Light green background in the PDF consists of many triangular solids and the bitmap shines through at the junctions of these triangular solids. Why do you use bitmap if it is not visible under light green solid hatch? If it is only as temporary item for referencing, you can try to put it to unprintable layer.

I'm not sure I understand the solution you're suggesting. I have three sections to the drawing:
(1) The google PDF (bottom)
(2) An Ordinance Survey dwg of the area (middle)
(3) My drawing (top)
I would like it to print to pdf in this order without the 'scratching', so that the google layer is only seen where there is no (2) or (3) on top of it.
Do you use transparency for light green solid hatch? Can you share the drawing (or part of it) here? If yes, don't forget to share all external references (PDF, images).

It's the viewport A2 Entrances & Exits that sems to cause the issue when the google layer is under the other layers. To get around the issue, for the 'Arena' viewport, I move the google layer out of the way. It seems that when the google layer is in place, the scratching occurs.
>>>>> No, I didn't So here is the trick I used to create this PDF: - assign transparency to all solid hatches in the drawing and set it to 1 - in Print or Page Setup window check "Print transparency" option
This will force to create raster images in place of Solid Hatches in PDF output and scratches won't appear in it.
