Printing problems - preview is fine, but pdf created lacks all but a shadowy outline...

I'm trying to print out my map to a large pdf to maybe use a printer at kinkos or something to print it all out at once.

When I set up the printer (using CutePDF now, although PDFCreator does the same thing), I can "preview" the map and it looks great.

However, when I go and print it out, all I get is a dull grey outline of the dungeon map itself...

Attached is the preview. I'll follow with the pdf output..

Any ideas? This happens with both PDF printer modules...

  • More follow-up... doing some more experimentation, still using cutePDF... previews still all look good.

    Using the "fit to page" setting (or not, I've done both), I can print to custom PDF sizes: 20x30" and 25x35".

    But if I try 30x40" or even 35x35", I get a blank PDF....

    Hope this helps people narrow down the issue... I'm running Windows 7, 64bit, newest version of CC3 as far as I know, and I _just_ installed CutePDF so that should be new as well.

    Going to go try PDFCreator as well...
  • More data: 25x35" works, as does 33x35". However 34x35" fails to print to the PDF correctly (blank sheet).

    Also, if I try to print at 33x35" with the effects turned on, the preview still works but CC3 just crashes when I try to print...

    The only thing I can see that seems to be a pattern is that I've yet to produce a PDF greater than about 5.5MB... is this some sort of limit of CC3?
