PDF printing text disappears

I am on ArchiCad 11 running on Windows 7 and XP. On both machines when saving to PDF the text will ocassionally disappear. It seems to happen mostly when it's a very large file. Any fixes?

Try a different PDF print driver perhaps. Do you have Acrobat Pro?

So I guess you could try the Amyuni driver. It installs with ArchiCAD by default in Windows.

It could also be a font problem. Does it happen with all typefaces or just particular ones?

I've had this problem. I think it's an "out-of-memory" issue. Try different settings on the Adobe PDF printer: eg reducing compatability to earlier versions and compression etc. This has worked for me in the past.
