PDF995 and dashed lines !?!?!?!?
-
LO ver. 15.3.331, 64-bit
Win8.1 Pro
PDF995 - latest version, with converterGreetings to all,
I'm having issues when I do a print preview of a simple LO document using PDF995 as my printer. Specifically, if I draw a simple circle with a solid boundary line the circle shows up just fine in print preview. But if I then use the Shape Style inspector to make the circle boundary into a dashed line, the circle shows up in the print preview as a much larger solid black circle with a ragged edge. Sometime the black circle has a white hole in the center; sometimes not - depending I think on the circle parameters.
Anyone else see this?
THANK YOU!

Could you share a LayOut file that gives you this result? What happens if you export a PDF direct from LayOut?

Dave,
Thank you for your speedy reply!
What happens if you export a PDF direct from LayOut? <<
That works! OK, now I feel silly - but wasn't it the case not too long ago that to get consistently acceptable PDFs from LO we had to use a 3rd party product? Unless I'm nuts, I remember advice from one of the popular SU/LO forums a couple of years ago that suggested PDF995 as a means of producing reliable output.
THANKS!

I've been using LayOut since it was first released and have never used a 3rd party application for PDF exports. I've only used the native exporter. I don't remember anyone ever advising the use of a 3rd party exporter.

Dave,
I think it was the following link that I was thinking of - but they're talking about SU, not LO (which I've only recently started using seriously). My mistake.

Ahh... Yes. I remember there have been suggestions for exporting from SU that way. I rarely ever need to export PDFs from SU because I get better and more controllable results doing it from LO anyway.
Well, you're on the right track now anyway.
