Pdf output issues

[Anonymous]

I have looked through the posts from many of you and my issue appears to be a little different from what is posted. When I turn on the shadows and sketchy modes in my 2d elevation views for presentation purposes, the resulting pdf has come out with lines missing or distorted. It appears as if the shades are obscuring the linework. I lightened the shadows but it does not help. I generally like to use Nitro pdf driver because it has the ability to create multiple sheets and has a larger range of available paper sizes than other drivers. If I turn the shadows off, the resulting pdf is much better. One drive I used that did use with some success is the Microsoft print to pdf driver. The draw back with this one is that it does not print multiple sheets and does not have the range of paper size I would like to use.

I would appreciate any help that someone can give me on this. I do not want to have to turn settings off in my views to print to pdf.

I often use pdf creator. It is free (also for businesses), can print multiple sheets and has plenty of paper formats. Not installed it for a while so if you decide to use it, do a custom/expert installation to check if it does not want to install adware or other unnecessary elements

Another possibility is CutePDF. I've used it for years and can do all you want and its free. Thanks for posting.

My co-worker suggested that, too.
