Publish (current page setup to PDF within PUBLISH) works as expected in foreground, uses proper page setup plot style and color table and the results are black on white.
But when using PUBLISH in background it shows an error for each:
""WARNING: Incompatible or missing plot style""
and the created PDF's are in color instead of black and white.
I have discovered that when PUBLISHing in background the application uses a different profile from the current profile, the bad news is the profile it uses is IDENTICAL to the current profile (the ONLY exception being a different sub-sub-menu load). BOTH profiles point to the same plot style directory. As far as I can tell EVERYTHING is identical EXCEPT foreground/background publishing.
It 'appears' that AutoCAD is simply choosing a different directory from which to search for plot styles. I have copied the plot style table into a half a dozen of the usual suspected support directories including the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2013\UserDataCache\Plotters\Plot Styles directory and still no joy
Any ideas??
