 Topic: Saving CAD file to PDF FormatPosted: 06.Jan.2009 at 11:35 |

We have AUTOCAD 2006 and need to save a file into a PDF format. I gather from the info that we should use Acrobat 6 (distiller) to change the format but am unable to marry the two together to get the desired results. Autocad refers to Autocad Plotter configuration editor which I am unable to locate.
Please could someone provide a PDF for dummies help
many
thanks
Dave

My ACAD 2007 has an option to plot directly to PDF. I would look there first, see if you can simply add the Autodesk plotter, direct to pdf. I found this option under the file menu, plotter manager. I'm not sure if your version has this capability, so,
The other easy option is to download PDF995. This is a windows system printer driver that prints directly to PDF from virtually any application. I've been using this for some time now and am very satisfied. Good Luck. |

Update your CAD to 2007 and you do not need to install Acrobat. However either to update to a higher version or to buy the acrobat will cost a lot of money, you can try some dwg2pdf converters, e.g: http://www.autodwg.com/PDF/
the reason I'm using it is that it can batch convert and use CTB files to convert. Edited by MaryRoland - 07.Jan.2009 at 04:26 |
