AutoCAD 2017 batch plotting cutoff

[administrator]

Hi Everyone,

We are working with AutoCAD 2017 Standard and are experiencing batch plotting to PDF problems, where PDF page is cut off at the end and even parts in the middle of the page are either cut off or missing.

We use FoxIT PhantomPDF  writer and I am wondering is that is the problem or perhaps we have some settings out of order.  PhantomPDf is working correctly in all other applications but AutoCAD seems to misbehave.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Test it with 'DWG to PDF.pc3'.

Is this working correctly?

If yes: How big is your papersize,

or is it also a problem if you print to DIN A0  (and plotscale FIT)?

You are using transparency?

You are not batch plotting to PDF, you are batch plotting to predefined setups that happen to be a driver that creates PDFs. There is a difference, and now the issue falls back to what are your pagesetups (and 3rd party driver) and which one is the culprit in the set.

Not everyone here is going to have or use FoXIT here.

if you want to batch plot to PDF with AutoCAD and rule out any pagesetup issues, on the PUBLISH command pop-up under PUBLISH TO's pulldown, select PDF then select one of the default PDF presets (like DWG TO PDF) and see if your problem remains.

Let us know what you find out.

This was the solution and batch plotting now works without an issue. Thank you for taking the time and offering us your expertise. We appreciate it
