Autodesk Inventor 2008 Issue

"Dan,

Here is what I have found out about the PDF creation from Autodesk Inventor.
If I create a PDF using PDFX-Change 3 or 4 the PDF is incorrect.
I downloaded a different product: PDF995 and created a PDF from the same drawing.
The 995 PDF is correct.

I used the default settings for both products.

I have attached all three samples.
Could you communicate with the folks at PDF-XChange through their forum and see what we might be doing wrong?
It could be something as simple as a setting somewhere.

The prints are being made in Autodesk Inventor 2008.
I am using default paper sizes in both products.

In addition when I make the PDF in PDFXchange 3 the print is created very quickly.
When I repeat the process in PDFXChange 4 it takes 4 minutes and 50 seconds of spooling before the pdf is created.

Can you help me with this?"

Attached is the zip of all 3 PDF's. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi Dan,

Investigating - suspect it is the margin size (setting should be 0.125 inches I suspect if its anything like AutoCAD) and the speed issue - try setting Printer Properties -> Advanced -> Print Spooled Doc's first.

will come back ASAP if the above proves to need editing after investigation.

Would be very helpful if you can send me (Ivan@tracker-software.com) .tmp file from both V3 and V4.
How to get .tmp files described here: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... .php?t=800

Thanks

[DClark]

I'll pass along the information and try to have my user get the tmp files.

Thanks!

[DClark]

The tmp files are roughly 16MB each, and the limit for upload is 2MB. How would you like me to transfer these files?

Thanks,

Dan

Please email to Ivan@tracker-software.com with a link back to this forum topic.

Plesae ensure they are zipped.

Thanks

[DClark]

Amazingly enough, changing some settings and zipping them took them waaaaaaaaaaay down.

Attached are the .tmp files.

Thanks,

Dan

I know it's only been a day later, but anyone check into this issue?

Thanks,

Dan

[Ivan - Tracker Software]

Yes, I had check and see where the trouble can be.

Can you send me original Inventor's file? You can use Ivan@tracker-software.com to send it.

[DClark]

I have emailed you the files, if you want them posted here as well, let me know.

[Ivan - Tracker Software]

Thanks, I got your files and working with them.

Also, as a workarround for now while new build will be released -- turn off "Enable optimization of Images sequences" on Optimization page of driver preferences.
But turn off this option will increase file size.
