Pdf creation through python issue

Hi,
Is there a change in pdf creation procedure ?

My old script is now creating large file size in vector mode.
I tried to use the properties DrawBackground and DrawBackgroundBitmap with no success.
print_test.py (2.5 KB)

The joined script is creating 4 pdf files with 3 simple ellipses:

  • 2 vector @ 100 and 300 dpi (1MB, 5.5MB) ???
  • 2 raster @ 100 and 300 dpi (0,9MB, 4,7MB)

I usually create large vector pdf files (36" x 120").
Since it seems to include a white background bitmap even in vector mode,
it is really heavy to work with.

By the way, using the “save as pdf” print dialog, the bitmap is not in the file.
I guess it is related to the python layer.

Hi,

The issue seems to be related to layouts.

I just print the top view with Rhino.Display.ViewCaptureSettings and the file size is not
including the large white bitmap.

Anything new about that ?
