Tiff images not plotting? fills on top of .Tiff image

Anonymous

I have inserted .Tiff images in model space (In plan), I have added fills on top of the .Tiff images. I can see everything in model space. I created the view set and placed the the view on the sheet. Everything looks good in paper space. When I plot I can only see the fills and no the background .Tiff.
Is there a setting I am missing for transparency? Is my pen set wrong?
Need help.
Thx,

I have a continuous peoblem with imported pdf's showing partially. It is a nightmare. I am creating modes from word and printing to pdf. Does not matter how a pdf is created Mac or Adobe. The only wat is ti screen capture and paste but the result is low grade.

I finally took the time to test why I could not plot reliably pdf’s imported in layout. Reliably means parts are constantly missing from pdf’s.

I have tested this with a G5 and a MAC Book Pro.

I am using AC 10 MAC 10.4.10. HP1050C (I have 11 but after reading the reviews considered much to disruptive and costly to change)

This is the way I did the test:

New and reset
Create a C Blank C size master

Import a (2) page PDF created with Adobe printer created from Reader 8
Move images close the pdf so the (2) touch and scale to 90%
It will fail plotting one of the pages or part of one.

Sure if you do not touch the imported pdf it will plot but then try moving the pdf’s it or close and open the pln and it would not work.

I have tier al available methods of creating the PDF MAC save to PDF etc.


In light of the above GS should post and publish a worming of unreliability. What they did of not warning us is criminally negligent.

I have continued the test and noticed that when pdfs touch or are overlapped the 2nd inserted does not print. Separating the pdfs and rebuilding will print again. This was possible only on a new and reset test pln in an exciting no matter what it will give errors.

GS must be forced to acknowledge and correct this in all versions.
