Print/Export Layout Differences

ajkelsey — Sat, 23 Jun 2018 15:33:45 GMT

Export to JPG: When I export to JPG, I get the results I was looking for. The JPGappears the same way my layout looks on screen.

Export to PDF: The PDF is pretty good except it is showing small gray rectangles around the icons I created. I made the icons in CAD and saved them to SVG and I believe the rectangles are the outlines of the paper. It's strange that it doesn't show up on screen or in the JPG export.

Printing: The results from my printer look like the PDF except the icons on the map are rotated. I did rotate the map 20 degrees in my layout, but why are the icons printing differently than shown on screen?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Ok. I solved the problem with the rectangles around my icons. I had the viewport marked as visible in CAD.

The issue with the rotated icons has yet to be resolved.

Ok, so the printing is where things are still not working properly. I find that I sometimes have more success with exporting to a PDF (or jpg), like you did, and printing from that, instead of printing from GIS itself. Does that help with this issue?
