    Question Memory Error while Plotting DWG to PDF

    When I try and Plot a Dwg to PDF, I get a Memory Error.
    I install the update patch that I received when sending the error report
    and that did not help...
    Also have memory issues plotting to my 1050C hp plotter as well.????

    Smile Re: Memory Error while Plotting DWG to PDF

    The best way I've found to create a PDF file from a DWF file is by using Adobe Acrobat 4.0.

    4.0 installs a system printer driver called "Adobe PDFWriter". It works fine.

    As far as memory issues on your computer goes, I would check to make sure that your Windows Swap file is sufficient.

    I have run into memory problems on our 1050C, but not too often. It usually happens when I try to plot a file that is around 30 Mb in size. I will get an "out of memory" error, but it still prints, how be it slowly. If you get the "out of memory" error, just leave the printer alone for a while (acutally could be quite some time) and it will eventually start printing.

    The only way I can think of to fix the printer memory error is to max out the printer's memory - which I think is 64 Mb (I may be incorrect). We have our printer memory maxed out, and still get out of memory error messages.

    I've been using CutePDF for a year or better now and it has worked very well.
