Problem printing drawings in pdf

[Tera]

Recently I'm not able to print drawings when the view is Shaded with Edges. Printing a very simple drawing takes more than 10 to 15 minutes and then a whole black page is printed.
Save as Pdf & Microsoft print to PDF are the same too.

This is what task manager shows during print :

If the view is anything else than Shaded with Edges, everything is OK.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Thanks for any kind of advice.

What do your settings look like here?

Well....apparently I cannot attach images right now.

So...I mean what do your setting look like when you go to
Options-->System Options-->Export-->PDF

This is what I have. Everything should be as default because I normally doesn't change any setting here:

Hrmm.. Not sure what happened, but when I click on it, it says that the image was deleted.

Sorry I was updating the image. Tried to use jpg instead of png.
I think it's ok now.


By the way, it seems that jpg files are not allowed recently.
If you want to upload an image, you have to save it as png.

Thanks again.

Thank you.

Bump your DPI up to 600 and try again.

Still the same.

Thanks for trying to help.

Try to set the drawing view to High Quality first. Did that help?

That was it. Yes, now everything is back to normal.

Million thanks.

Glad it worked. If you want to find out the main differences between draft and high quality settings, read this article:

I had more success using SaveAs --> PDF than with printing. Don't know if newer versions are different.

I have a different problem with Save As. But it doesn't fit here. I will ask it in a new thread.
Thank you.
