[Equest-users] Plots to Color PDF

Fri Feb 26 10:13:47 PST 2016

Presently working for me using the official “Adobe PDF” printer that installed itself alongside Acrobat XI Pro.  For eQuest 3.65 at least.

The only special instruction/trick/change from a clean install of Windows/Adobe is to make this the ‘default’ printer in Control Panel à Printers & Devices

That said, here are some screenshots showing associated printer settings you can check against – again these are all “untouched” and should be what you see after a clean install.  Attached is the output which on my end is in color:

Matthew;

Thanks for the reply. I omitted this one from the list, buts failed for me too. I even have got through to check that all of the ‘printer’ setting are to color.  Do you know if you had to do anything special for settings? 

I’ve talked to my IT guys and they swear they aren’t locking color out. Not sure 100%  believe this.

Will keep playing – but good to know you’ve had success with this printer….

Thanks,

I personally use PDF forge pdf printer, it installs as a printer on your machine and creates pdfs, obviously, it is free and works well http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator

All;

Has anyone else had issues getting the plots & bar charts that eQuest creates to print to pdf color? It seems that no matter what I have issue reliably getting these to print in color to pdf. I’ve tried a number of pdf creators [bullzip, bluebeam, primopdf, cutepdf] and all seem to fail. The ‘best’ work around has been to send to MS OneNote, then take to MS Word, THEN make the color PDF, This also make the numbers look like rubbish.

Or, are these plot created in separate files [like the SIM file is for the text results], which can then be sent to PDF? Any advance is appreciated.

Thanks,
