    Default Created PDF cuts off 1/3 drawing

    Hi:
    Here's my problem. I have acad 2005 running Windows XP, When I create a PDF with PDF995 The top 1/3 of my drawing is cut off. The strangest thing is it only occurs on this one job I am working on, every other job it comes out fine. This is a 24" x 36" dwg, but if I half size it, it comes out fine. By the way 90% of our drawings are 24" x 36" and I've never had this problem. Also I am plotting on a hp design jet 1050c plus. Any ideas? I'm going mental!
    Thanks

    Hi

    Do the drawing files in question Plot ok! to the above output device, or do you experience the same problem as outputting to PDF ?

    Plus, the following thread might help...

    Plot Preview - bottom half of drawing missing

    Have a good one, Mike

    I have have a similar issue at times. My work around is to print to a dwf first, and then
    print the PDF. Seems like a pain, but it gets the job done.

    Drawings look fine in preview & plot fine when plotting as a dwg. I've gone through all the procedure's & everything checks out o.k. What I ended up doing was create the pdf at half size & that seemed to work but that was a bit of a pain (time consuming). I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the program the architect is using because it is not acad. Anyhow thanks for the input. I will chalk it up to one of those great mysteries I will never figure out. ha ha. Also have you guys noticed if many people are using dwf to share drawings, I haven't, but it sure seems alot easier. Thanks again and Robert we do golf in the snow, we just use colored balls.
