This sounds like an old problem that was discussed sometime ago and someone recommended using CutePDF, a free PDF writer. I noticed that Acrobate 5.0 and 7.0 had size limitation of no greater than 45" x 45". CutePDF doesn't have any size constrants, the largest map I've printed from a Maptitude layout to PDF was 42" x 74" using CutePDF.
I'll have to play around with Distiller and see how that works.

The solution is pretty simple. In your Acrobat Distiller advanced options, turn down the graphics print quality to no higher than 600dpi. Do that and try creating a large PDF. ________________________ Jason Black Missouri Republican Party IT Director [EMAIL PROTECTED] 204 E.

I've got Acrobat 5.0, and there seems to be a limit on size. I can set up large paper sizes, but the output clips to about 24" wide. Anything wider than that I've either had to print directly to the printer or import into Illustrator first. It would be really nice to be able to print to Acrobat first, because then I could proof my stuff on screen!
