OrlandoMergal Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 I just finished creating a simple form for my AirBNB Short Term Rental and the PDF that I exported from Affinity Publisher won't print. I get two messages from my Epson ET-2550 printer. The first one reads: “The document could not be printed” and the second one reads: “A drawing error occurred”. At first, I thought the problem could be an EPS logo that I had at the top of my document. So I replaced it with a JPEG copy instead. The PDF didn't print either. Finally, I exported my document as a JPEG instead of a PDF and that does print. In this case it doesn't really matter because my document is intended for my printer, but if I were going to press then it would be a problem. I am attaching copies of the Publisher file, the PDF file and the two messages that I received when I tried to print. Casa Eva Arrival Form.afpub Casa Eva Arrival Form.pdf Quote
thadeusz Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Just tried it and it printed out on my laser printer (Samsung). But the logo was not embeded, so I left it out. Since you have Acrobat maybe you could have a preflight check of your PDF to see, what went wrong? I just did it with the one I created and it says, there are layers. Maybe that could be a problem on your printer as well. Maybe you have to create a PDF version without included layers. Just guessing.. Quote
Staff Pauls Posted July 8, 2019 Staff Posted July 8, 2019 you can untick the "include layers " option under the more... settings in pdf export to flatten the layers Quote
OrlandoMergal Posted July 11, 2019 Author Posted July 11, 2019 I unticked the “include layers” option and my PDFs still don't print on my EPSON ET-2550. However, they do print on my Canon PIXMA Pro 100. Maybe it's a driver issue. I'll see if there is a driver update for the Epson. Quote
