Glad to here it, I had a feeling and was going to ask if I could check
the file here, which is why I logged on. Anywho, glad you have it all
sorted out.

Edit/preferences Preferences is at the bottom of the option. (Ctrl-K)
Then I have selected Security (Enhanced) at the bottom of that screen
are three options What is Protected View, What is Enhanced Security
and What are privileged locations.

The problem with that program is that my customers may not have it, most
use Acrobat.

I found a setting in Sketchup Print that I had to change and the PDF
files are remarkably better.
In the past UltraHigh under Print Quality worked just fine.
With the latest version of Acrobat it is much better with the box
checked on Use High Accuracy HLR
Odd that this has become an issue with the latest version.

;~) then you might want to try BullZip for creating PDF files. I have
been using this program for 10+ years with never an issue.

Well now I am starting to feel kind'a dense.
Same version but when I click on Edit/Preferences I get a ..... AH!
Security is the in between step that I needed to click. You did not
mention that and I often can't put 2 and 2 together.
But anyway, that did not fix it. Oddly colored files seem fine and if I
zoom in on B&W drawings the lines get darker, they seem to go from grey
to black.

It *is* a PDF writer, and a very good one. I've used it for over a
decade. Indeed, it's much better than Acrobat Writer (which I'm
forced to use at work).

I had similar problems, it really ticked me off, Readers security is
not allowing certain programs to write pdf's that it can read. MS
Office being one of them. I haven't yet gone to MS to see why, it is
supposed to be an open format.

I'm not sure but I tried printing a pdf the other day and the paper was
blank. I haven't searched the settings yet to see what I was doing
wrong. The pdf was of something I generated.

The thing that I do to cause something like that is highlight a couple
of characters, when I print I print those highlighted characters not the
document.
There is another way a blank document can be created. If for some
reason if there is an error when the text is formatted to be placed into
the PDF document, the document can be created without the text.
Lastly I have been know to print a couple of blank pages before what I
want to print is printed. When I scroll down my intended document is
there just not on the first page.

It is in Preferences Security (Enhanced) at the top of the page.
There is a check box for Enable Protected Mode at Startup
and the there is a check box to turn of the protected view.

The program produces PDFs so Acrobat will read them.

I also use Software995 which has a very good stitching program that I
use to put reports together from several PDF files.

Are you running it in protected view mode?
Edit/preferences/protected view
They have greatly enhanced their security features, I have mine set to
protected view on startup only, just in case.
There is a help button at the bottom of the page that will show you
what happens in that mode.

Found it but that did not good for me. I had to change a long time used
setting in Sketchup to get black lines instead of grey lines in the
latest Acrobat reader.

I have a program for producing PDF,s, that was not the issue. Acrobat
has become touchy. I had to tweak a print setting in Sketchup that
always worked fine in the past. It was the quality of what the new
Acrobat was displaying that was the issue.
