What settings in AD 'Save As...' PDF are closest to printing to PDF via the standard macos print dialog?
We have a rare, recurring but unpredictable problem with some elements in a design which was saved as a PDF being printed as solid black objects. We exclusively use wide format inkjet printers.
When viewed, the PDF is fine but some elements that look fine on screen, print as black blobs.
If we use the standard macos Print dialog and 'Save as PDF' or 'Open in Preview' we never have this issue even with exactly the same file.
Rather than trying to work out why they print in black, we first want to try and replicate the settings that always work when we use the macos Print dialog.
It would be reasonable to ask why we do not just use the macos Print Dialog if it works. This method leaves us with the designs on a fixed size page which we then have to manually crop.
