Layout Printing Issues
-
I run into problems exporting LO file in PDF
How it's possible that the two exporters have such a huge difference?
Correct is the jpg one.
Any advice is welcomed

Just so I'm clear, is this missing model / view the only difference between the jpg & pdf? Can you copy that model onto another page or another document and export to pdf successfully? Is the model raster or vector rendered, and will it succeed if you change the rendering?

[attachment=0:38o25t05]<!-- ia0 -->Missing.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:38o25t05]The biggest problem is that the soft grid upon the facades appear too strong in pdf (without trasparences applied), and even some lines of the plants (yes, copying it into a blank document solve the problem)are not well rendered in pdf and are printed incorrectly.
BTW everything in the model but grid and texts are jpg pictures inserted. So the LO file has no skp model linked. -
Do me a favor and trim down the document that shows exactly what you mean in one location, or circle it like I did in red in LayOut. I think I'm seeing it, sorta, but I want to be sure.
Also by "plants" do you mean "plans"? And are these renderings not from SketchUp, or why are you using jpg's instead of just inserting the model?

Sorry for my english...
yes by plants I mean plans
And yes these renderings are not from sketchup (since it has not yet a render engine) -
Thanks for the clarification, and no need to apologize for English or spelling.
These are our grid lines (File->Document Setup->Grid), right? I'm seeing it as well, and I'm trying to find you a workaround but I'm not seeing one. The thickness isn't set-able, and there appears to be an opacity bug (I was thinking that you could adjust opacity to get a better look, but the bug prevents that). I'll think about this some more for a better workaround, but this is a bug and I'll file it. Thanks.

Just so others on the group could see this, I took that last PDF image, and converted to JPG (ImageViewer.app on Mac), and the lines lightened. I converted back to PDF, and they stayed light. I've attached the PDF. But is that output acceptable, and are you on PC? I'll try PC + GIMP.

Looking at this closely, and since you've gone to the work of doing a very nice quality rendering, I'm guessing the PDF->JPG->PDF conversion will be lacking. The last (maybe) question I have: Is the intended output the PDF document or printed output? Sorry I don't have any better answers for you at this point.

Adjusting the grid opacity is a regression bug. I just tried it in 2.0 and it worked, but LayOut doesn't respect grid line opacity settings in 2.1. Ouch. Sorry.

Sorry, I didn't tell you before... I did the grid (because the spacing is not really the same between x and y) using LO lines and setting their opacity to 10 (the color is black).
I discovered a bug accidently
But however, as I wrote in the first post, exporting my work in jpg the resulting images are exactly what I want them to be (and the same as I see in my monitor, that's ok).
I was just wondering how PDF has not the same output image as jpg. That was all.
BTW many thanks for your helpfull advices!
