Mstn V8 Xm (with Triforma): WIn 7 : Adobe Acrobat Pro 8. 2GB Ram
When I create a pdf file via the system printer or via the pdf.plt file, the file lines are thicker and therefore I have a loss of detail. I have tried printing at 1200, 600 and 300 dpi all the same.
The preview plot within Mstn is accurate, so something is happening when when I actually create the file. I do not if it is a seetinsg withing Mstn, the plt driver file, or actually within Acrobat settings. I have in the past been able to create excellent pdf files, but for some reason not know.
Many Thanks

I was never satisfied with the thick line weights from the default output of the PDF plot drivers either. That is why I started modifying the postscript drivers so I could make my own custom Postscript>PDF files for use with the Acrobat Distiller in Acrobat Professional. I tweaked mine to the point where you can't tell the difference in the plotted output between the PDF files and plots directly from Microstation using IPLOT. Give this one a try. Hope it helps.....

I also did not like this problem. My solution was to modify copies of the pdf.plt & pdf.pltcfg for my postcript compatable printers to copy the output file directly to the shared printer. Of course this doesn't help with non-postcript printers.
