I hope someone can help as I am having a problem..
When I copy and paste onto a drawing, such as a sketch scanned to pdf, the image looks all good when I do a print preview but when I print sometimes there is no image.
This happens whether printing to the printer or adobe. Tried three different printers that are on the network and still no joy. 
 I CAN print a poor quality pdf image, it is a higher resolution pdf that disappears. I can't understand it as jpegs print fine and they take up more memory than a pdf..
Does anyone know the answer??
 
Thanks

I found this program very useful and it's free.
 
You could print a PDF file within any program.

***Sometime people want to put a bitmap (an image, a text document or an Excel spreadsheet) in the middle of their drawing, next to their CAD diagram.These documents are linked to the CAD drawing; on the screen, they look like one. In that case, they are OLE objects. OLE = Object Linking and Embedding.Many CAD - even AutoCAD - have/had a lot of problems in printing mixed documents (OLE objects+vectors), as bitmaps and vectors use different languages.
This is because the AutoCAD print driver can only print the AutoCAD diagram - it cannot print the Excel spreadsheet because it does not work /worked with Excel.Do you experience this problem with all mixed files?If yes, you need a printer driver that can interpret and print OLE objects from inside CAD files.
You'll find it here
