PDF Limitation?

In the Open Standard

I am experiencing an odd limitation when printing barcharts to PDF. I am printing activity descriptions next to bars but after a certain number of bars, no more descriptions appear. This happens when printing to larger formats such as 11x17 and up. I am using Acrobat Pro 7 and the problem occurs on more than one computer. Has anyone else experienced this limitation and if so, is there a work-around (short of simply not printing the descriptions)?
Thanks
Sean

    Hello Sean

    Try surfing Software995.com then you can download a demo pdf995 and see if this will work for you.

    I tried it and it appears to be working.
    That’s pretty amazing for $0.00.
    Thanks,

    I’m using PDFfill (see www.pdffill.com).
    Free software, easy use, no adverts.

    cheers

    If you want to get rid of the Activity Description on barcharts, in P3, go to Format/Bars then for all visible bars click Modify/Labels -- remove the label.

    Cheers!

    I have same problem with the relationship lines. When I got the outputs, there is no relationship line for the first page. But after a second page and the other pages there are relationship lines. How can I correct it?

    Hello Sean,

    You can use primopdf.

    It is also a free download from the internet.

    So far, i have no problem using primopdf.

    Cheers,

    Charlie

    Thanks for the suggestion Charlie. I will keep it in mind if I have trouble with pdf995, which is working just fine so far.

    Other suggestion : if possible use 300 dpi instead of 600dpi

    That’s interesting - I tried Acrobat at 600dpi, instead of the default 1200dpi and it works ok. I then tried PDF995 again and noticed that it defaults to 600dpi. If I set PDF995 to 1200dpi it also fails to print all the details.

    Interestingly, I have also tried it with an inkjet at 1440dpi and 11x17 and it does work ok.

    So it seems that the limitation is at the P3 end of things, but does not apply to all drivers. I could confirm that if I had a printer driver for a 11x17 laser that prints at 1200dpi (the limitation does not show up at less than 1200dpi and 11x17).
