Getting error plotting to the Adobe PDF printer using printer.pltcfg.Getting “[StartDoc] The specified datatype is invalid” when plotting to a custom size (such as 22.0 x 157.0) created using the Postscript Custom Paper Size to the Adobe PDF printer.This seems to be an issue on Windows 7 64 bit only.XP works fine.
Set the Print Quality for the Adobe PDF printer to 600 or below.To do this:Select the printer and go to Printing Preferences – Paper/Quality – Advanced.Set the Print Quality to 600 or below (anything above 600 causes the error).
