When I change 'Hybrid' into 'Raster', I can export the file to PDF.

Hello Dave,

Problem is not solved.
What can cause the problem?
I can't send you a private message because the file is too big: 07-05_ 2022-06-12_BA-B-en-N-2e-VERDIEPING.layout => The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 2 MiB.

Kind regards,
Veerle

Thanks, that is kind!
Probably I will need to ask you for your advice for future problems...

Problem seems to be solved! Finaly.
Found this in 'Taakbeheer': 'Sketchup does not use a video card - Client software general - GoT - CleanerBrowser'. ComboCleaner, a program I have never installed, was causing the problem.
ComboCleaner is now inactive and Layout makes normal PDF's.

Dave,
Can I share the LayOut file in a private message to you?
If not, can you assure me I can remove the drawings later this morning?
The architectural drawings are, of course, private and only for my client.

Layout refuses to export drawings to PDF.
That was never an issue before.
Tried this:

• Layout off and on
• PC off and on
• Reduced filesize: kept only 2 pages with architectural drawings
• Layers with dimension off, with text off and with both off
• Removed dimension, removed text, removed both

Other drawing without text can be exported to PDF as normal.

Still working with Sketchup and Layout 2018.. while more recent versions are available (and paid for)... no time for the learning curve to change and waiting for an other OS before installing the new versions.

As always: I need the PDF's and it is urgent.

Who recognizes this problem? What is the cause?
What is the solution?

I have the same problem with the toolbars as Dihe has in Sketchup 2018.
But I also have a bigger problem. Layout 2017 does'nt start up anymore since I installed Sketchup 2018. The Sketchup-icon in Windows 10 does not open Layout 2017. "Send to Layout" in Sketchup 2017 does not work either.
How can I fix this?

I have exactly the same problem as Boothy has: toolbars do not stay in position .

See "Print to separate pdf with name of page": https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13%26amp;t=67941%26amp;p=624246#p624246

"Pdf to separate pages" integrated in Layout would be the best option.
Meanwhile I use PDFSAM (Windows) to split PDF files. PDFSAM Basic is freeware; http://www.pdfsam.org/pdfsam-basic/
File-names are very easy to manage: http://www.pdfsam.org/customize-file-names/
Also available for Mac and Linux.
