problem export pdf with samples in autocad 2015

[bacchinif]

I realize that in this forum there is often talk of this topic, but it is practically days that I try in all ways to export in pdf some dwg (mostly heavy, about 10mb each). the dwg in question contain many fields, transparencies (fundamental) and images. the export format would be in the vast majority of cases in a1.
the problem in which I run (other than the slowness in the export phase because of a computer not just of last generation) lies in the fact that the samples are often imprecise, with streaks or with unusual color gradations.

same thing happens to me with mac, if not even worse.

I have installed many virtual printers, including pdf creator, first pdf, dwg to pdf and so on... But nothing. I would like to find a definitive solution to this export problem. for now dwg to pdf seems to be the most performing one, since it produces light and all-in-one acceptable files. Yet, I am not satisfied; because the problem of striations is always there.
I was, however, oddly disappointed by pdf creator that on several occasions generated me pdfs full of errors (lost or too thin lines, therefore unreadable).
Does anyone have a definitive solution?
or, can anyone suggest me if I have to change some parameters? do not know, any of you have a pdf creator profile that can pass me?
Let me know.
Thank you in advance.

I would also try to install the trial version of adobe acrobat xi pro valid for 30 days, in this way it adds a pdf printer (adobe pdf) and you can do further tests and, as it was adobe to realize the pdf standard, maybe you have some more possibilities...

hi I just read your problem with pdf... don't understand well when you talk about streaks.... Have you checked whether in print styles the thickness of the pennines is adequate...?? in the sense that the ctb file of the pens is the same as you use to print on a printer/plotter?

 

[XANADU65]

if you want/you can attach here dwg files...maybe try to convert them...if for you is not a problem

as it suggests lyparis.... try to install the trial version of adobe acrobat xi pro...I use the old version adobe acrobat ix pro and I never had any problems of streaks or even missing lines.

Thanks for the tip. in fact I had already investigated long ago on which were the best virtual printers for creating files in pdf and according to everyone it was pdf creator as not only kept the levels (spegnible when necessary) in the pdf file but was also the most faithful in terms of line thicknesses, in the sense that: correctly read all thicknesses from 0.00 to 0.25, which do not many pdf converters.
I have not had much time to set an ad hoc calibrated profile for pdf creator but I have limited myself to selecting (doing various tests) both the default profile and the "high quality". In both cases I had problems with sampling.

Anyway, I'll discard what you suggested and try to see if it converts me. If you can't, I'll still ask for your help.
Thanks again.

I wonder that this problem - which I thought was very common - sounds new. If I do not go wrong there are to bizzeffe of users who have had not few problems with export in pdf. in the case the export errors occur if and only if there is a high number of samplings in the drawing. to understand, if in the drawing there are 4-5 solid samples then the problem does not arise. Besides, it never occurs in case of solid sampling without transparencies.

to make it short: if in the design there are few samples then the export is correct (with any type of virtual printer, such as pdf creator (default profile and high quality), first pdf, dwg to pdf and save as pdf (from mac)) regardless of whether the samples (solid, I always talk about those) are with or without transparency.
Contrary to the fact that the number of samples exceeds the tenth (the files in my possession exceed the maximum limit of samples allowed in an autocad file, which - if not erro - is 10,000) and the problem occurs in 100% of the cases on the samples with transparency.

returning to what you told me. I didn't check print styles because I don't have a big familiarity with them. therefore, theoretically, I did not touch anything from the default settings.

I try with adobe acrobat ix pro and if I still have problems I attach the files.

as it suggests lyparis.... try to install the trial version of adobe acrobat xi pro...I use the old version adobe acrobat ix pro and I never had any problems of streaks or even missing lines.

That's done, I'll show you.

I tried.
report: 1 problem solved, 2 created.

the problem that I opened the thread was solved. or, adobe pdf (virtual printer of adobe acrobat xi pro) correctly prints all fields with transparencies. Basically, I haven't had any streaks.

they created, however, two problems. the first is that you do not print the samples that are a gradient. She leaves them totally white and I don't know why.

The second problem, however, is much more serious. that is: quality is bad! are frameable. if I try to identify a clear difference with the pdf created by dwg to pdf that are good in terms of quality (despite the small size) but not for striations.
plotting with pdf adobe I put 300dpi that seemed more reasonable to me. As soon as I have some time I try to put 1200dpi and see if it depends on this. In all honesty it seems absurd to have to increase the dpi to meet this problem.

I tried with cutepdf.
the same thing as adobe acrobat xi pro. Basically, I have no problem with "fields", but the quality of the lines is clearly lower than dwg to pdf. I'd like to find a virtual printer that can't have problems exporting so many samples with transparencies, but that will return good lines at the same time.

on the left there is the result of cutepdf and on the right that of dwg to pdf. As you see, on the one hand the samplings are better, on the other the lines and contours are more defined!

if you can also attach only part of the dwg in which the problem occurs.

Hi, I have your own problem. Did you finally solve it? If you could give me some tips?
Thank you!
