Very interesting. Some questions... 1. What happens when you try exporting a layout that just shows a drawing (no labels) to PDF in 32/64 bit? 2. What happens when you using a different font or format for labels? 3. Does everything else export perfectly (images, drawings, formatting, etc.) in 32/64 bit? 4. What exactly is the process you use to export to PDF, including all settings in every dialog? What happens when you try different combinations of options? For example... the labels don't export
That doesn't give details, as right-clicking onto a Labels component in the Project pane and choosing Export does not have an option of exporting to PDF in Release 8. You probably use the labels component in a map and then use that map in a layout and then export the layout as an image, or something like that, right? Without more details it's tough to guess what is going on or to suggest a possible workaround. I've just exported a bunch of layouts that include labels to PDF using 64-bit Manifold 8.00 and they all export fine. So whatever is going on it's not something that is guaranteed 100% to happen all the time. To investigate it is really important to provide lots and lots of detail on absolutely everything you are doing and all relevant things about your system, for example, what version of Windows you are using, whether you have any virtualization going on, etc. It could be a bug in 64-bit Manifold's PDF drivers (which, of course, are slightly different than the 32-bit ones) or it could be something else that is absolutely off the wall like some intellectual property rights bit set in the font you are using that is recognized in 64-bits but not in 32-bits. I don't think it is the latter but I include that to show how you have to look at every last danged detail in such matters and take absolutely nothing for granted. One last thing: as always, it is critically important to make sure you are using the latest update for Manifold and that also you have all updates installed for your Windows system, for your video card drivers, etc. Every option in the Export PDF File dialog could be vulnerable to odd incompatibilities that a not-yet-installed upgrade might resolve. Tech support always insists on having all the latest updates because there's no point chasing bugs before first eliminating the possibility that a bug which has already been fixed somewhere is the cause.
