I'm printing from AutoCAD Mechanical 2010. We use a lot of "Paste Linked" excel files and word docs. When I convert to PDF using Acrobat 9, there are lines in and/or around my excel files in the CAD drawings.

This wasn't an issue with Acrobat 7.0, which isn't compatible (as far as I know) with Windows 7.

Any ideas. I've tried switching to a different PDF writer, but it's terrible.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

Have you used the oleframe command? 1=on, 0=off, 2= on/no plot
I use 2, if you use 0, you will have to turn it back on to edit ole.

Thank you, I've run a few different tests with the oleframe at "0", it seems to work on the excel file links, but not the word document links.

On a CAD note, how would I go about making all the drawings I open to have oleframe at "0", we always use old drawings and change them, and never start a new drawing.
