PDF Below Geometry Won't Plot

Anonymous

I have a PDF of my site placed below my building geometry, but when I print or plot it, it won't print the PDF at all -- just the geometry. Why?

2 things come to mind:
1. Are your pdfs without another drawing over it printing ok? There were some problems with this earlier.

2. What is the backgroung of your "building geometry" drawing set to? Could it be blocking anything behind it?

I have encountered a similar problem. A large (6 mb) scanned PDF image of an existing structural drawing inserted under a Placed External DWG for coordination is not visible when printed or published as a PDF. I can't imagine this is a feature. I've searched about to see if I can find a toggle... unsuccessfully. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Update - Feb. 6 '07
I went through each step to recreate this condition to see where it broke. The PDFs, (and this was true for a test JPG, and smaller file versions), did not print after they were rotated 90 deg. CCW. Subsequently, I did the rotation in Photoshop and got on with the job. But, this is a bit qwerky.

Hope this saves someone else the hours it took to figure it out.
