Unable to Print Anything from Layout

Pages printed to pdf or direct to a printer all come out blank!!!

Do not print.

Use File>Export and then print the resulting PDF.

I have tried this as well as direct printing to my printer and printing to pdf and it still shows blank pages. I have also turned my pc off and on twice.

Post your LO file so we can help diagnose the issue

Are your graphics drivers up to date?

When you installed SKP 2026 did you run the installer ‘as administrator’?

What happens if you open the file in 2025 - can you export it then?

Also - fill in your forum profile so we can see what system, version, graphics card you are using. That helps us help you.

It said LO file was too big 29.3MB

Driver is current

No didn’t install as administrator, never had to with any other version

Everything still works fine on 2025

Have updated my profile

You’ve used this phrase several times. What happens if you EXPORT to PDF?

Upload it it to a file sharing service like DropBox and share the link.

I have also attempted to export with no success

I exported from LayOut on PC and got this.

Maybe @bmike will see something different since he is using Mac.

Curious: Do you see a different result if you change Viewport Output to Medium?

Probably not related to your issue but cleaning up the model and LO file would help you out. I fixed incorrect tag usage.


And purged unused content.

There was one unused image reference in the LO file which I also purged.

The logo image file is considerably larger than it needs to be considering the size at which it is used.


I reduced it to the same size as in the document so it still appears the same in the export without the bulk.

Dave, Thank you for your help, I only placed the logo last week didn’t see it was so large.

Reduced the output resolution to medium it appeared in Bluebeam straight away and was able to print all pages instantly. The quality of the plans on A3 are more than adequate.

I will also purge and clean up my Sketchup drawing.

Again thank you for your help.
