Marcelina Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hello, I have a problem with exporting layouts to PDF. For some reason there are squares showing up as attached at the end of almost each text. What is the reason for that? This is not visible while printing directly from ironcad on my printer. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcelina Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi! Thank you, but this did not help. These are still showing in exported pdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emil.rindell Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Ok, as a workaround try to use a virtual PDF-reader and print the drawing to a PDF instead. There are several free available but it should work just fine with Microsoft Print to PDF: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcelina Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Hello! Coming back with this issue. This has been quite problematic in my recent work. Print to PDF tool seems to not work perfectly, especially with multiple layouts and even if I mark vector export files are not in good quality and colors are slightly changed. While I export pdf's the squares are still showing. Keep in mind I am using a Calibri or Arial, not custom fonts. This is affecting all text boxes on layouts, including text with leader. Any ideas how we can solve this problem? We can't present drawings to clients at the moment. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Can you post your ICS and ICD sample? Or send to support@ironcad.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill C Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Using the GLASS PIcket TYP.icd that you provided, I exported PDF with and without the embedded font Tools Option on resulting in the attached PDF files. Do you see the squares when you open these PDF files? Glass Picket TYP..pdf Glass Picket TYP.2.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelina Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hello Bill, Thank you. No, I don't see these squares appearing. That would mean that the issue is on my computer only? I attached the same layout exported on my computer. Glass Picket TYP.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
