I am trying to save my exploded assembly .dft to .pdf. The funny thing is it doesn't give an error or anything, but when you open the .pdf all it shows is the background sheet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the draft, you are in working sheets when you create the pdf right? You may even want to make sure background sheets are hidden.

Yes I am in working sheets and the background sheets are hidden. I created several pdf files from the individual components the exploded assembly is the only one giving me problems.
 
How are you creating the PDF, save as or using a separate distiller or what? I've created PDFs of assembly instructions done in draft that had severa, maybe tens, of exploded views without trouble using pdf995, I wonder if it's what you're using to created the PDF that is the issue.
