    I have some issue with exporting layout as a pdf.

    If  you open attached files, you'll find out that what you can see in the picture In MIPro (screenshot from MapInfo) is not what I've got in PDF (In PDF Viewer).

    Anybody know the reason?

    I assume you mean the big rectangle that appears behind the polygon in the PDF document, right?

    Do you get the same if you a) use a different hatch pattern in the polygon b)save the layout to for example a JPG image?

    I have changed the hatch pattern and it is the same. If I export the map as a JPG, than everything is ok. No additional rectangles. So it's something about PDF file export.

    Adrijana, have you tried to enable "Postscript Simulation" option?

    I have. It's even worse. I mean, those rectangles are gone and everything else too.

    Hi

    Can you check your Output Preferences found on the Pro tab under Options:

    I have highlighted two settings that you can try switching from your current setting.

    Also, check out the MapInfo Pro Printing Guide if that holds any clues.

    Thank you Peter this was helpful.
    With those two option being switched on, my polygons shrinked.


    Then I noticed on the top, there is an exporting option, because we are actually exporting it, not really printing so I switched on the option for Polygon mode and it worked!

    I tested it again with Subdivide Printing and Polygon mode on Printing card, switched off. But it didn't work.
    Map comes right only if all of them are on. 
    Once again, for those who might have the same or the similar issue:

    Pro - > Options -> Devices (Output settings) -> Printing -> Subdivide printing ON ->Polygon Mode ON 
    Pro - > Options -> Devices (Output settings) -> Exporting -> Polygon Mode ON 

    Once again, thank you all for your help,
    Adrijana
