Printing to PDF - different based on computer

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have three auto cad machines.  Two run autocad LT 2012, one runs autocad LT 2018.  I have set up all the computers to that the print to pdf settings are exactly alike.  But if I print a drawing to pdf and someone on one of the other machines prints the exact same drawing to pdf, using exactly the same settings, the pdfs are not the same.  The printed area on my machine comes out about 1/4" wider than the other.   It doesn't matter which two machines are used, they drawings are all different.

I would like to be able to have multiple people print out drawings for the same project, but they have to be laid out exactly the same.  What other settings might be involved that the drawings are not identical?

Thanks

Andy

The built-in PDF drivers in 2012 are different from the ones in 2018: try a 3rd party PDF driver for all three PCs instead (if you use the same WIndows version, if those are different you might still have issues with 3rd party PDf drivers too).

Two machines, both with windows 7, both with autocad LT 2012 make different pdfs, with the exact same print settings.

HI,

>> same print settings

Same PC3 as well as same PMP?

If so please upload the dwg, the PC3, the PMP and the PDF's you created from both files.

Please also show us screenshots from the plot-dialog from both systems.

In addition to other info requested, post a PDF of the same DWG file from each of the two LT2012 so we can see the difference, and include that DWG file here so we can check your work.

What us through exactly, and I mean exactly, how each user creates the PDF on their LT2012 session, so we can replicate.
