    Plot to PDF Raster levels

      Product: MicroStation, PowerDraft
      Version: V8i, CONNECT
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Printing
      Subarea: Driver/PDF


    Description

    I have a DGN file with a number of raster images attached. When I sent it to print in PDF, I  would expect the rasters to be on separate levels but this does not seem to occur within the PDF that is output.

    Steps to Resolve

    The steps are:
    1. Choose the pdf.pltcfg (or your own PDF-printer driver configuration file),
    2. Edit the printer driver configuration file
    3. In the Base Properties > Driver Properties> Enable Optional Content > On
    4. In the Advanced section >  Enable Merging of Background Rasters > False
    5. Save the changes to the .pltcfg file, and
    6. "Reload Printer Driver Configuration" for effect to take place.
