Hello,

Has anyone tried to print 2010 US Topo PDF’s using Adobe Reader? We
tried printing Wolf Creek Dam, KY and Lexington West. KY. We noticed the
following when printing on our HP wide format plotter:

- With all of the layers turned on, the map looks nice, but the ortho
image seams to drown out the contour lines.

- With the ortho image turned off, the map prints nice, but there is no
building layer or shaded layers available to show wooded areas,
populated areas, and road layers are labeled very little in the
populated areas.

- The map prints larger than an original paper map even after we set the
print size to the size of the exact map dimensions. For example, we set
the print size to 29.00 x 22.75. but it still printed a map 33.11 x
23.39. We measured

Has anyone had the same problem or noticed any of these things?

Thanks,

-Greg
