    Taking a long time to print PDF in CONNECT Edition

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

    Problem Description

    It is taking relatively a longer time to print to PDF in CONNECT Edition.

    Solution

    You can disable some of these options in the PDF pltcfg.

    From the (PDF) Print dialog box, go to File > Edit Printer Driver Configuration and edit these settings:

    Enable bookmarks=OFF

    Enable Links=OFF

    Enable Searchable Text=OFF

    Enable Optional Content=OFF

    Enable Measuring=OFF

    Enable geo-referencing=OFF

    Rasterized Quality Factor=50


    The following variables can be used to improve the speed of the rasterized print. They can be defined under file – Settings – Configuration – Configuration Variables.

    MS_PLT_RASTERIZED_MAX_TILE_WIDTH

    and

    MS_PLT_RASTERIZED_MAX_TILE_HEIGHT

    Note: Tile Width / Height used for rasterized printing. Default width / height size is 2048 and max is 8192.

    Set the values 4096 or 8192 for the above variables. 

    After editing, save the file and reload to use.
