Re: [MI-L] Issues with printing PDFs.

[Ted Florence]

Try doing the map itself in teh Adobe environment. Specifically you can do it in Illustrator by using MAPublisher (www.mapublisher.com) and importing TAB format and other MI files directly. Then you can stylize the map using the attributes and full Illustrator power and simply save as a pdf when you are done. I understand that you were introduced to MAPublisher at MapWorld in Phoenix so you may be somewhat familiar with it. Regards Ted Spatial Decisions wrote: Hi MI-Listers   Just wondering if anybody has experienced the following behaviour (and importantly - overcome it).   When printing from the Layout window (using either MI Pro 8.0 or 8.5) to PDF, small fine lines are appearing horizontally and vertically (like a grid) on small areas of the output.  These lines appear on the map in the PDF reader, but of more concern, they appear on the hard-copy printed from the PDF.   Have tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional (V6), PDF995 and the GeoWriter PDF that ships with MI Pro 8.5 and all have produced the same lines in the same spots.   Another interesting problem is that the lines don't appear on every PDF created and when they do appear they are not in the same spot on different outputs.  However, if the same output is printed using the various PDF printers mentioned, the lines do appear in the same spot for each printer used.   This is proving frustrating as PDF is a valuable form of output delivery to clients.   Operating system is XP Pro.  Any thoughts/ideas welcomed.     Thanks in advance.     Tony Maber  -  Certified MapInfo Professional Business Services Manager SPATIAL DECISIONS PTY LTD (A MapInfo Partner Company) www.spatialdecisions.com.au Ph: 61 2 9528-2822 Fax: 61 2 9528-2833 Mob: 61 404-861-858   Check out 2 great enhancements to the power of MapInfo Professional HotSpot Detective  and  MapAnimated  -  www.spatialdecisions.com.au   _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l -- Ted Florence [EMAIL PROTECTED] MAPublisher 7.0 for Adobe Illustrator CS & CS2 is now available.
