Subject: [MI-L] RE: Issues with printing PDFs.
This is a bug that has been around for at least 8 years.....that's when I took over the mapping hat at my company, using MI4.5, and it is a bug that shows its ugly face on this list regularly.
If memory serves me correctly, there is no fix in terms of how you print the file, as the artefacts are due to how MI processes complex region boundaries, i.e.. the higher the node count in your region boundary, the more printing artefacts you will get.
<rant>Sometimes it get frustrating that MI concentrates so heavily on putting bling, smoke and mirrors in their new releases, to chase potential new markets, rather that fixing persistent old bugs.</rant>

Hi MI-Listers
Just wondering if anybody has experienced the following behaviour (and importantly - overcome it).
When printing from the Layout window (using either MI Pro 8.0 or 8.5) to PDF, small fine lines are appearing horizontally and vertically (like a grid) on small areas of the output. These lines appear on the map in the PDF reader, but of more concern, they appear on the hard-copy printed from the PDF.
Have tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional (V6), PDF995 and the GeoWriter PDF that ships with MI Pro 8.5 and all have produced the same lines in the same spots.
Another interesting problem is that the lines don't appear on every PDF created and when they do appear they are not in the same spot on different outputs. However, if the same output is printed using the various PDF printers mentioned, the lines do appear in the same spot for each printer used.
This is proving frustrating as PDF is a valuable form of output delivery to clients.
Operating system is XP Pro. Any thoughts/ideas welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
