Hi there, I have an annoying problem when printing (or saving) to PDF. The issue doesn’t happen with every drawing, but when it does, it occurs when you select vector rather than raster output. Essentially, you can set a drawing up in the Print Preview window and if on the default raster setting, i…

experiencing this too when selecting vector option, in the print window it looks fine, but when I print out the document it has shifted and my text boxes are not in the printable area :frowning:

I have version 5.3.2 of Rhino for Mac and I just thought I’d let you know that I’m still experiencing this issue with Printing to PDF - what you see in the print preview window is what you get with the PDF if you stick to raster output. However, if you change to Vector output (my preference when tr…

Hi Dom - I’m not seeing this here either, but in 5.4 now. -Pascal

from the layout window, then opening the print dialogue box, I still get a small shift when choosing between raster and vector, my preferred option is vector too, it’s definitely problematic when you need to print documents out, not such a big issue when just saving as a PDF document

5.4? I’ve just checked for updates on my current version of Rhino and it’s saying I have the latest version (5.3.2) or is 5.4 a new purchase option?

Hi Dom, 5.4 is the WIP ( work in progress), and you can download and install it for free alongside the official one, 5.3… Take a look at this link: [image] Rhino for Mac Work-In-Progress (RhinoWIP) Rhino for Mac If you have purchased Rhino 5 for Mac, you have access to o…

Thanks for that. I have downloaded and installed the latest RhinoWIP and again tried the PDF issue and received the same results. See attached. RhinoWIP_PDF.pdf (181.7 KB) RhinoWIP_PDF(raster).pdf (397.6 KB) One of the PDF has been created when the print options were set to Raster and the other i…

Can you please tell me the exact manufacturer and model number of the printers you are using? We are unable to duplicate this with any of the printers we have here. I suspect this is a printer driver issue. Thanks.

lates WIP explodes closed paths to single segments - files cannot be postproduced in illustrator (fills etc.). Actual stable version keeps in exported pdf all polylines closed.

I’ve noticed the exploded single line segments too. I have a Lexmark C925, but I think this theory has been offered before so I tried connecting another printer, a Samsung ML-2240 and this didn’t resolve issues. Seems odd that it’s fine in Raster output though if it’s to do with the printer driver…
