| Summary | 0002324: PDF export behavior difference between Main Screen and Drawing Page rendering (under virtualbox only) | ||||
| Description | I'm using VirtualBOX under Windows 7 to work with an OpenSUSE 13.x Linux ... for FreeCAD. Only when running VBox that has issues with the OpenGL driver, I met this weird difference : - If I want to do a Print/Print Preview/Print Image/PDF export of main screen from main menus ... I got an empty file or a file with only a few bytes and correctly closed. - If I do a Print/Print Preview/PDF export from the Drawing Workbench screen (it means a Page has been rendered), I got right file, not empty. Most of my export in VBox are PDF output from Drawing Workbench but sometimes I have to take screen snapshot, so I use KSnapshot to do. If you correct it, please make extending good Drawing behavior to Main Screen behavior and not adverse. Thanks Ludovic | ||||

Resolving due to lack of response from OP |

It's known that the graphic drivers provided by virtual box are rather poor -- especially pbuffers don't work well/at all. An alternative is to use framebuffer object which can be forced by this parameter: in the parameter editor go to User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Document and create the boolean key DisablePBuffers and set it to true. |
