Different result with different drivers
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2019 2:11 pm
We have a GIS software which displays elements in different layers (different drawing order = different display order). When printing, we see sometimes different results from different printer drivers. This happens on "real paper" printers and on PDF-devices.
I attached 3 PDF - made from different PDF-devices, but with same content from same software on same PC.
In GIS, there are some lines on the same place: the dashed-lines should be on the lowest level, the continuous-line should be above and should totally cover (hide) the dashed one.
The attached screenshot shows that the Acrobat PDF shows the result correctly - as continuous. The 2 others shows the result as "ugly dashed".
Maybe the GIS gives a wrong output and Acrobat (mis)understood it and the result is correct, or something else ....
Can you see in the file what is happening here and how I can get a correct result with PDF-Xchange?
Thanks, and have a fine weekend.
