Creating PDF of sheet files with Google Earth Image Superimposed in the Reference File.

I am creating sheet files for road corridor with the Google Earth Image superimposed. I captured Google Earth image in the 3D file with correct coordinates and it came out good in my sheet files when referenced 3D file to base file I am using. Problem is- I cannot create PDF's for some of the sheets where as some sheets has no issue creating PDF's (However, it take about 6 to 8 mins to create one PDF). The ones that does not work gives me error message "could not load", could not find exception.log, and some time microstation just turns off with the beep sound. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Niran, Frank is correct, you should be using pdf.pltcfg to create the PDF files from MicroStation. Please confirm...

I am using Bentley driver for sure - just a software is PDF Xchange not Adobe - and it works for most of the sheet files except some that does not work. I really wanted to get this resolved. It also works fine when image reference file is not attached. After I attached image reference file it gives me window that says "Rasterizing 1 of 70" and just stops in the middle. It take about 6 to 8 mins for the ones that works.

But are you using pdf.pltcfg or printer.pltcfg? pdf.pltcfg should not need PDFXchange or Adobe... we can take this offline and set up a meeting if you would like.

Just to let everybody know that the printing issue has been solved. I am still not sure if that could be the reason but what I did was separated Google Image file and the base file. I attached them separately in the drawing and it worked. I also noticed that when there is lot of image in the reference file it tends to take time during printing- suggesting to eliminate other images from the reference file which is not associated with the drawing sheet. Thanks for all the help!
