Exported PDF issues
Exported PDF issues
(OP)
Having a problem with exported PDF's. When I open a NX6 or older and NX7 or newer pdf, it shows all sheets of the document. When I try to print a NX6 or older pdf it will print all sheets. When I try to print a NX7 or newer pdf, it will ONLY print sheet 1.
This is using a Ricoh printer/plotter and the appropriate Ricoh print viewer. After investigating this on my end, the Ricoh drivers are the same as they were when we used NX6. Does anyone know if the internal process that generates pdfs in NX7 and newer is any different ?

RE: Exported PDF issues
Using NX 6.0.5.3 and NX 7.0.1.7, I created from each a two-page PDF file using...
File -> Export -> PDF...
...and then printed it on my Epson Stylus Photo R800 (I'm working from home today) ink jet printer and in each case both pages were printed with no problems.
Attached are the two PDF files for you to test.

Ok, those two worked. Try one in 7.5 please. I will generate a multi-page doc and post it.
Thanks,

In those cases, only certain printers at the same site would have troubles, yet others would be OK.
This sounds similar to those problems. I would start by looking at printer drivers, even if they have not changed.
You could also try as a test, renaming the NXPLOT folder for NX7 and using the NXPLOT folder from NX6 to see if the PDF processing from NX6 will work for NX7? It's a fudge, but it might help.

RE: Exported PDF issues
In this case it wouldn't hurt to try. The PDF conversion is done from the NXPLOT folder (CGM2PDF if I recall) so swapping to the NX6 version to test would prove if it's NX or the driver that's at fault.
