When plotting, and always at random, some or all PDF's on a sheet will not plot. Sometimes they will, sometimes they won't. Sometimes a viewported PDF will plot, sometimes it will not. It seems totally random.<BR /> <BR /> I know of others that have had this problem, and if I recall, there is a workaround of some sort. I do not want to turn the entire sheet into a PDF and plot the entire thing as one PDF.<BR /> <BR /> This wouldn't be an issue if we could still use OLE. <BR /> <BR /> WinXp Pro, Archicad 10 build 1183<BR /> intel core duo</T></DIV> Fri, 19 May 2023 20:22:13 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-is-the-fix-when-trying-to-get-a-PDF-view-to-plot/m-p/61707#M10178 MMontgomery 2023-05-19T20:22:13Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-is-the-fix-when-trying-to-get-a-PDF-view-to-plot/m-p/61708#M10179 <BLOCKQUOTE>MMontgomery wrote:<BR />When plotting, and always at random, some or all PDF's on a sheet will not plot.</BLOCKQUOTE> anything to do with the PDF document's security settings? just a thought . . .<BR /> <BR /> ~/archiben Tue, 29 May 2007 23:00:09 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-is-the-fix-when-trying-to-get-a-PDF-view-to-plot/m-p/61708#M10179 __archiben 2007-05-29T23:00:09Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-is-the-fix-when-trying-to-get-a-PDF-view-to-plot/m-p/61709#M10180 Good idea, but all the security settings are set to 'allowed'.

I ended up creating a PDF set and it plotted OK.<BR /> <BR /> I've also found that it's possible to plot the set one sheet at a time, and all the PDF viewports plot fine. <BR /> <BR /> It must be how ArchiCAD handles the plotfile when plotting a set of 80 sheets, many with PDF schedules, or a memory issue between my PC or the Plotter.<BR /> <BR /> <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_question.gif" style="display : inline;" /> Wed, 30 May 2007 17:05:33 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-is-the-fix-when-trying-to-get-a-PDF-view-to-plot/m-p/61711#M10182 MMontgomery 2007-05-30T17:05:33Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-is-the-fix-when-trying-to-get-a-PDF-view-to-plot/m-p/61712#M10183 I'm having the same problem. As far as I can tell, it started when I applied the patch for Build 1183 (US). My work-around it to "print" to my plotter, rather than "plot". Seems to work OK with that.
