Amyuni PDF driver: Problem when printing fills - help....

[Anonymous]

Since switching to PM 9, I have had nothing but problems printing to pdf files. Specific problems:

- When using the Amyuni PDF converter that came with PM 9, the pdf files are enormous (8K for a single 11 x 17 page @ 300 DPI), and archicad fills are printing in a very strange manner. I have tried adjusting the display & output settings in PM without any results.

- When I use my Acrobat PDF writing (the one I have used for quite some time), the files print (at what appears to be normal file sizes), but the fills are still printing incorrectly, and all my plotmaker text is garbled.

Note that these problems occur both when trying to print directly from plotmaker and when using publisher.

An easy solution for me would be to simply go back to using PM 3.1 (I never had any trouble generating pdf files with earlier versions of PM), but since 9 is not backwards compatible with PM 3.1, I would have to re-create all the work I just put into a couple of new PM 9 projects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am also having a lot of trouble printing .pdf's now that I am using version 9.

I have Acrobat 6.0 Pro. I can not create a .pdf from ArchiCAD any more by selecting the Acrobat and printing to file. I have been able to create a .pdf by using the Amyuni PDF Converter but the file is not a .pdf
I have to open the file with the Acrobat and save it as a .pdf. The problem is that these new files look great on the screen and print perfectly on my laser printer but none of the plotting services here in town can print them out as they look. They are all distorted. These files do have .jpg images in them also and several kinds of fills but they are not over 500KB. I also took the files to CopyMax and they had the same problem. I turned them into .tiff's and got a crude print but its not very good resolution and the file was huge of course.

Any one else having this trouble?

Can the person from Graphisoft who emailed me regarding this problem contact me again? I accidentally deleted the email & have files ready to send for him to look at. An email address and FTP location would be great.

Thanks
