PDFs of Inventor drawings have faint grey lines

Issue

PDFs that were created from Inventor drawings have some faint light grey lines. Only some lines are affected and only a couple of PDF files. If that happens for all lines and all PDFs it is probably a different issue.

Cause

This can happen when a drawing which is not up to date is opened in the fast open mode.

Solution

  • On the machine on which powerJobs Processor is installed navigate to "C:\ProgramData\coolOrange\powerJobs\Jobs"
  • Open your job's script file
  • Search for a variable $fastOpen. In the sample scripts it looks like this 
$fastOpen = $file._Extension -eq "idw" -or $file._Extension -eq "dwg" -and $file._ReleasedRevision
  • Change it to 
$fastOpen=$false
