Problem with converting dwg with ole objects (not embedded) into pdf

Report · Jan 27, 2016

When I convert dwg with OLE objects (not embedded) into pdf the colour of the OLE objects changes.

I use Acrobat X pro.

I convert the dwg to pdf in Windows Explorer.

Can you help me?

Hi albert-jan25021963,

Please try to create the pdf file using Acrobat Pro going through with 'file > create>pdf from file' .After selecting the Auto cad file you will get a settings window, using 'Configuration preferences' option you may add OLE objects within autocad file.

Check with these steps & see if you are still facing this issue.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I followed all the steps, but still the same result.

When the images are raster images in AutoCAD the colours are okay.

But because raster images are linked to the original file, it’s not possible to use this option.

For your information: I open the image in Paintbrush, select all and then copy past it into the dwg.

The images are JPG’s. I converted the images into other types (bmp, png and tif), but the result is the same.

If you have other surggestion, please tell me.

Kind regards,

Albert Jan Huigen
