Yes I know I can screenshot each individual .dat file as an image then insert them all at once into pdf file but that is length process

Yes I know I can open all these .dat fiels and printer them all at once and they come as one pdf file but I end up losing the colors of the graphs

Thx

I doubt anyone here has any experience with Line Sweep Tools.

describe your process of trying to get those LST .dat files into PDF?
does LST allow exporting to PDF?
from within LST are you using “Print to PDF”?
do you have Adobe Acrobat, or PDFSam or equivalent to import into a PDF file?

Print them by using Adobe Acrobat or Nitro pdf as a printer name

No.

Yes

I don’t think they are suporrting to import .dat into pdf

[Bruce]

and if you print them as PDF from LST (ending up with multiple .pdf files) and them using Acrobat, merge them into one PDF, does that keep the colours?

that process in Adobe Acrobat is, View > Tools > Pages > Combine files into PDF
them you drag and drop your LST created .pdf files.

Unfortunate adobe won’t support .dat

All .dats files combined in one pdf file

don’t import the .dat files - as you say, that won’t work.
import the .pdf files from LST where you ‘print’ each .dat to to PDF.

Yes I can do that but still we are missing colorof the graphs or I can print all .dat files as one pdf file rather than printing individually and then import those individual into one pdf

Why do you want to print as pdf ?
Are you trying to print OTDR measurement result.

Why do you want to print as pdf ?

When you email those .dat files to someone he has to have LST software installed on his computer to be able to open them otherwise he /she won’t be able to open them

[PeterOz]

Ok
I saw on the website that you can print direct to printer
Recently, some of the Printer vendors released “USB Direct Print Function” by a printer, when using this function, it can be printed out an OTDR measurement result without any equipment.

Having to pdf so you can attach as email - is different.

Have you tried using a program like Bullzip pdf printer.
Install program and it sets up like a normal printer.
When you print you pick that printer and it creates a pdf

I have got adobe and Nitro does and there are others do the same work as Bullzip pdf

[PeterOz]

So when you print to Nitro as pdf
No colour?
