Hi,
This has been bothering me for a while:
I like to generate a PDF of the enroute charts and print it later in order to take a paper copy as a backup to my iPad.
The generated PDFs are MASSIVE in size. It takes ages to open them - the different layers are built up individually in the Adobe Reader and on slow computers (such as often found at flight schools, rental outfits) will never open. It also takes ages to print them and sometimes, some layers (or colors?) or omitted, resulting in unusable print outs (after spending half on hour getting the printer to print them).

Has this been noted before? Is there going to be a better implementation of the PDF printing feature?
Regards

Patrick

"Presumably you're using a "print to PDF" tool, which is a non-standard item on a PC. If that is the case, you might find that contacting the developers of the tool, or trying a different tool, yields better results."

Tim, my apologies for being inaccurate here. The last time I actually did it was some time ago and I picked this up today because it came up on euroga.org.

In fact, I'm using CutePDF writer, so it's exactly as you suggested.

However, it's still the case that CutePDF usually (with other programs) yields much better results and I'm thinking if it is not possible and beneficial to either convert/compress what's being sent to the printer internally (something like the option in MS Powerpoint to compress all images within the presentation to a certain resolution for print or screen display) or to implement a PDF export functionality directly in SkyDemon? I uses this a lot to create a trip kit that I then print at the airfield (containing the charts, the plog, the notams, ...).

I realize this is now a feature suggestion rather than a bug report.
