Did you use File->"Export as PDF"?

Can you share a test case dxf? by tool box "Upload a file" in the forum composing page.

Hello,
(Sorry for the file ... I made a mistake I wanted to upload the dxf file ... Here you have : Surfaces.dxf)
BUT : I think I found my problem : the LibreCad 's "exporting to pdf" seems to act differently according to the PC...
My problem is on my office netbook only : on my home computer it works perfectly ... It must be due to different versions of dll... what do you think of it ?

Can you have a look on my file : the behavior is very strenge while showing the two "cotes" and "cotes_SDB" layers : their color is filling the red lines (layer : "Electricité R1")... why ?
Many thanks !

For me the export of the file works fine in both, Windows and Linux.

Maybe you can give some details about operating systems on your PC'S.
And if you can post both PDF files, color and b/w, we may find some difference in the file properties.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your message.
Here you have :
- The "color" : Plan_R1_20150303.pdf
- The "Black&White" : Plan_R1_20150303_b&w.pdf

Clould you please have a look to the dxf file and try to show "Cotes" layer ?
It fills out the curves from the "Electricité R1" layer ... it looks very strenge... Do you have any explanation ?

Many tnanks in advance.

So far there's nothing wrong with your dxf.

since the pdf exporting fails to black/white only on certain machines, it's likely due to local printer settings.

I'm not clear how PdfFormat is handled by windows, but is likely linked to the OS default printer.

I suggest you to check your printer settings, and make sure your default printer device is not set to black/white.

OK, thanks.
Yes the office printer is set to black/white, I didn't think it couls be related : the PDF export and the printing...

Did you try to show the "Cotes" layer ?
If yes : did you see any color filing of the curves ?
If yes : what happen ?

on *nix, it's not related.

On Windows, looks it's

Please report back your test results by changing the black/white setting of your default printer.

Hello,
I cannot change the settings on my office netbook as I do not have any administrator's rights...
But it is OK for me : do not look at my problem anymore : I found my problem, so many thanks for your help.
About my other problem ? Did you look a it ? Do I have to open a new subject about it ? (as it does'ne seem to be related to it...)

Color filling of other entities of other layers(splines?), when showing a layer with dimension arrows?

if that's the issue, it has been fixed in 2.0.6, then, upgrading to 2.0.7 would be the solution.
