printing letters are scrunched

Anonymous

When I publish to pdf and then print out a reduced size all of the lettering gets scrunched into blobs as if they all printed one on top of the other. This did not used to happen.

I've run into this occasionally. The solution I've found is in Acrobat Reader:
1. Select Print..., the Print dialog box opens
2. Click on the Advanced button (middle top of the dialog box)
3. Check the option Print As Image
I've mainly run into this when rotating a sheet to print on my HP T120 large format printer.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
