Why difference in margins between V4 and V5/V6

Post by CnossenHJ »

Why is there a difference in margins (printable area) between V4 and V5/V6.
If I print a layout of an AutoCAD drawing with V4 the drawing fits completely on the PDF.
But if I use the V5 or V6 Printer Driver approximatly 2 mm (on border of A3) are not printed.
I don't change any plot settings in the drawing. (Plot area / What to plot: Extents)

Win7, 64bits, AutoCAD2013,

Hello CnossenHJ,
Please try using the "fit to paper" option and let me know if the print improves.

Sure it improves, but the complete drawing becomes now 1 / 1.022 = 0.978 % smaller (see attach).
With the V4 driver I did not use 'fit to paper' option, and the drawing fits.

Hello CnossenHJ,

Have you checked the Lite Driver's settings to make sure that no Margin values are specified there? If they are - all should be good.

Also - can you please send us a sample DWG file so that we can try to reproduce this? If confidential you can e-mail it to support@pdf-xchange.com!

Regards,
Stefan

Thanks for the sample file CnossenHJ,

I had no issues creating a PDF with all the content visible as expected with the latest drivers - so can you please check your settings as per my e-mail - as I do suspect this is settings related and should be resolved easily with their change/reset.

Regards,
Stefan
