PDF - print problem for drawings

[Deckx]

Hi,

I have certain PDF drawings (converted from CAD) which look ok when I open them on the computer screen but when I go to print them there are covered in random lines..(I'm using Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro)

I tried printing on another computer and they come out ok ? Tried everything like hiding sigs, stamps etc

Any ideas ?? cheers

I know it sounds corny, but have you shut down your pc completely and rebooted and tried again? If yes, and it is still doing it; reload Acrobat (sounds like a bug).

Are you making the PDFs directly in AutoCAD?

The Drawings have been converted from CAD,

The lines are like they have been left over from whoever CAD'ed the original drawings ie they go diagonally from one point to another like tracks of a mouse pointer

Weird... I even tried re-printing them again to PDF printer, look fine until I actually try and print them in paper and same problem ??

Yeah, we'd get those lines sometimes on CAD pdf drawings, but find the simple task of closing down completely and reopening the programme gets rid of them...

Don't ask me why!

Have you tried changing them to pdf from another computer (from original file)?

yeah, maybe try re-boot tomorrow... got a bad habit of never switching off my computer, only put it on stand-by..

I didn't do the conversion from CAD..

Just noticed yesterday that another batch of PDFs from a different engineering company have the same problem
