Print Warning:Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (16008, 6009) are too large to be drawn.

Hi

I recently faces the same issue.But issue got resolved in unusual manner.

Problem : In 1 page i have independent scrollpane (component) and  independent 4 movieclips (print1,print2,print3,print4). I wanted to print all 4 movieclips. While doing so it was showing the error that "Warning: Filter will not render.  The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (5431, 3871) are too large to be drawn." and page got cropped.

Solution : I had removed the Scrollpane comonent and checked the printing. It did not show any error and page appear perfectly as I wanted.

I hope this may help..

I'm having the same problem here. I suspect that flash internally multiplies the size of the printed page with the dpi the printer is able to deliver. This is the only explanation I could get for such big numbers even if I only want to print a small image…

I'm having this problem, as well, only my project is using ActionScript 2.

I tracked down the source of the issue to a masked movie clip contained within the sprite that has the filter applied to it. The clip being used as a mask was flipped horizontally, and the masked clip is used as a placeholder for loading an external SWF:

clip.loadMovie('path/file.swf');

I replaced the masking clip with one that was un-flipped, and the error went away.

Hope this helps someone!

Same Issue: Found it as I tryed to  print flex charts and the shadow was gone. Any Solutions Available?

Below simple Code for this Issue:

1. Printing Dialog OK - clicked
2. Debug Mode Warning
Warnung: Der Filter wird nicht dargestellt. Die gefilterten Maße (5388,  5388) des DisplayObject sind zu groß zum Zeichnen.
Translation (maybe):
Warning: Filter will not render.  The DisplayObject's filtered  dimensions (5388, 5388) are too large to be drawn.

I'm having the same exact issue. I'm adding a relatively small DisplayObject to a PrintJob, and it's giving me outrageous numbers like "The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (7499, 9582) are too large to be drawn."

how large is PrintableEL and are you applying filters to it?
