| PDF reference problem when exporting | BWAdams | 11/30/10 9:24 AM | SketchUp version: 8.0.3161 Layout Version: 3.0.3161 Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) I have imported PDFs in my layout file. They are linked to files on my hard drive. When I export the file to PDF, the linked PDFs get blurry, and then I |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | TheButtersShow | 11/30/10 11:48 AM | BWAdams, Well I have been told that the Gray box with a Red X means that you are running out of memory. Not sure how big all of your PDFs are or how big your file is in general but your computer might just be overtaxed. In File > Document S |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | BWAdams | 11/30/10 12:03 PM | TBS, Thanks for the reply. The biggest PDF that I attach is 100k. The biggest the exported pdf from any layout file I have created is 10M, with most coming in way under that. It doesn't matter how small the file is though, they all act this way. |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | TommyK42 | 12/1/11 2:07 AM | I also have this problem - only seems to happen with PDF files, and it's not to do with memory - I have small PDFs too. I thought this was going to be fixed in Layout 3, and it doesn't happen as frequently as it used to in Layout 2. I can't seem t |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | BWAdams | 12/1/11 10:57 AM | Tommy, I did file a report. If you file one, let me know and we can maybe link the two. The team at Google said it would be a while. |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | TommyK42 | 12/18/11 2:58 AM | I filed a bug report too. I can't seem to find the email I got in return for the report. Will look for it when I am back at my big computer... |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | thibaut2hd | 2/7/12 4:18 AM | Same problem here with PDF getting unreferenced on PDF export. Problem: a PDF inserted in a Layout file appears blurry in exported PDF and on returning to Layout appears as a grey box with red cross on update. Link is broken and impossible to reimpor |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | thibaut2hd | 6/19/12 1:49 AM | Well, the above only temporarily fixes the problem... I haven't managed to identify what causes the reference to break again later on. |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | dhartarch | 6/26/12 9:45 AM | I have experienced same issue and discovered similar work around...until recently. Since installing OS X Lion (may simply be coincidence) I have not had success with work around. I have also noticed that PDFs when inserted into LayOut show up at 81/2 |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | thibaut2hd | 6/26/12 11:50 PM | Hi,This problem doesn't seem to be linked to Lion. The workaround I described below worked equally well (at least temporarily) for me on Snow Leopard and on Lion. Layout Version: 3.0.14345 Operating system: Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) Thibaut |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | dhartarch | 7/4/12 9:27 AM | I agree and have found that by deleting the reference to a SketchUp model on the LayOut sheet with PDFs, the PDFs print fine...so far. |
| Re: PDF reference problem when exporting | Design8 - Orlando | 12/3/12 1:20 PM | Hi, A customer of mine also has a problem with pdf's getting blurred, blurry, unsharp. This happens to him after printing. The linked pdf gets printed blurry and then also blurry in the file. Export as pdf is fine though.. Open PDFin Preview and then |
