I am having similar problem. I have a LO file which I have previously exported to pdf no problem. Now I want to add a small text box. Every time I export to pdf, if I choose overwrite option it shows me the previous version eg without the new text box. If I choose to resave with a new name, I get the message 'problem opening pdf viewer' and nothing happens. I have done a purge of the LO file, and tried re-saving the LO file with a different name first, done a re-boot - nothing! Any ideas?
Thanks, Rose

Hello again, just revisiting this problem. Have just changed from raster to vector and it seems to have done the trick, fingers crossed that this doesn't cause some other problem but looking good for now! Many thanks Gaieus.

Hi Rose (and yes, I remember - no oficial answer from Google ever since about those tables... )

Well, the render methods can be found in the SketchUp Model dialog (it will only be active if the inserted model is selected)

Now I wonder if your active style is not monochrome...
When you see the textured model in SU, make sure to update your current style and then make a scene. At the top of the dialog attached above, you can select this scene. If it still renders in monochrome, there may be some problems with your graphic card/driver although to be honest, I have not heard this issue related to the video subsystem.

Hi Gaius (again! we corresponded about problems with importing tables before...)
Being not very computer literate, I don't know how to check rendering method! I am just using sketchup's standard materials palette, but exporting to layout in black & white (untextured)style.

I am having the same problem and I don't think I used to have this problem with the previous release of SketchUp/Layout. When I save to pdf, straight lines have mysterious discontinuities - little jagged sections - for no apparent reason. Would be interested to hear if anyone has any solutions to this one!
