PDF Preset in publish command doesn't totally work

Anonymous

Hi everyone,
Here is my problem : everytime that I want to save a few pages of a project in PDF I use the publish command to print together my pages in one PDF. Everytime that I do not know what to do about the PDF preset, to put it in PDF or in PDF (General Documentation), because with the first one that I choose, the cotation and somes lines will not print with a printer in the future. So, everytime that I want to do a PDF of my project who will be entire when it will be printed, I do this :
I use the publish command; when it is done, I print to make a test; after that I can print a test; it's not okay because there's missing the half of the project, so I re-do it in changing the PDF preset; when it's done, I print a test; finally it's great and finally I can print all of the project. It's a very long process just to do a PDF.
I'm the only one in my office who has this problem. If anyone can help me, it would be really great,

 

Thanks and have a good day!

>>>...I'm the only one in my office who has this problem...<<<
What is unique about your setup compared to the others in your office?
What do others do, or not do, to create PDFs in your files that they skip these problems?
What printer does not print "some lines"? What are these "some lines"? What are their properties?
What did your I.T. person recommend you change?
What if you log into your PC as someone else in your office, or someone all new, does the problem go away?

They do the same process as me and I checked the configuration of the others and it's the same. The only thing different is the PDF Preset who is AutoCAD PDF (General Documentation) for them, and I tried to let it at this preset, but it dosen't work all the time.
My office printer is Konica Minolta. The lines that doesn't print is the dimension and half of the line as the hatch and some of the red/purple lines
We don't have a I.T. person in the office..
«What if you log into your PC as someone else in your office, or someone all new, does the problem go away?» Not on my computer, but with another computer the problem go away.

 

I hope that I'm clear in my description.

I've just done a test and it perfect when I do it with just one page, but when I do more than just one page, it's there that it doesn't work. I joint at this post a picture of the result when I print. test.JPG

What is your version of LT?
What is your Windows OS?
What does everyone else in your office use?

Did you use the migration feature when you started using this version of LT?

What do you mean by "preset pdf"? Are you using your own PDF drivers, or trying to use a shared PDF driver on a server somewhere?

My version of LT is 2017
My version of Windows is Windows 7, one of my coworkers use the same as me and the other one use Windows 10
I don't know what is the migration feature that you speak of..

«What do you mean by "preset pdf"? Are you using your own PDF drivers, or trying to use a shared PDF driver on a server somewhere?» I inserted a picture below of what I'm talkin about.

On that pop-up, uncheck the box PUBLISH IN BACKGROUND and see if your issue goes away.

Otherwise I'm not able to reproduce your issue in LT2017 at all: post actual PDFs with the printing issue and perhaps even a couple of DWG files with your plot style tables too.

«On that pop-up, uncheck the box PUBLISH IN BACKGROUND and see if your issue goes away.» I've done the test, but it didn't do anything...

When I do a drawings, it's supposed to print this :

But it prints this... :

Finally it's solved! I checked with my work team every setting of the publish command and in the publish option there's an option about the merge control. They had «line overwrite» and I had «line merge». I just put it with «line overwrite» and everythings is good as perfect.

 

Thank you for you support and your help in the meantime!
