Extremely poor quality print outs from On-Screen Takeoff

Post by aguerot »

When printing this drawing to PDF-XChange 4.0 printer the lines turn into blocks. This problem is not present with the Adobe PDF Printer or CutePDF/Ghostscript printers. See attachment for Adobe, CutePDF, PDF XChange default, and PDF Xchange 1200 dpi print outs.

I'm open to any suggestions to try.

I realize that On-Screen Takeoff is not one of the most commonly used Estimating software and that Estimating is not that common of a department. Still I would like to have this issue pursued.

Hello aguerot,

I see that you used build 200 of our drivers to produce this PDF.

Could you please download and try build 201
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/downloads
as well and if the problem is reproduced - we will check it in more details.

Best,
Stefan
