Print to PDF - fail

[a.rupert]

Hi,

I have some serious problems with printing my layouts (A3) to PDF.

The most pages come out blank. On the one or two pages, that are printed, some elements like text or dimensions are missing.

I tried to print from the same file on an other divice and it worked.

Does anybody of you have any advice? I’m running out of ideas.

Hi Steven,

thanks for your answer. I’m runnung the latest version now, but still get strange results. If I pring aome of the layouts at one, some pages come out completely blank. If iI print single layouts, everything is fine. At the moment I’ve 40+ layouts, so single print is not an option.
