Anyone got any suggestions to solve this problem?
I print a drawing to PDFreDirect to make a PDF. I save the PDF.
If I print it with my HP printer the last part of the drawing is missing by a few lines. I can see this is going to happen in the printer preview window. This is on a Win 7 PC. If i save the file to a flash drive and then print it from my old XP PC, with the same printer, it prints just fine.
The printer settings are the same on both PC's.

Maybe look for a different win 7 driver for your printer.

I forgot to mention, the plans print out fine if printed directly from ViaCad, it's only when they are converted to pdf that the problem occurs.
Edit, ooops I seem to be a guest now!

I have solved the problem by creating a custom page size in Adobe that is 300mm long, (printing on A4 paper). This makes the printer think the paper is longer so the end does not get cropped.
