Display full version of the post: Discrepancy in .pdf and Plot Output
I work in an environment where I need to share drawings with others who cannot view drawing files. I have a series of title blocks created that will plot to the extents of the paper (usually 8.5x11). However, when I export the same paper space layout to .pdf, I lose approximately 1/4" of the top of my layout, and 5/8" of the right side of my layout. If I resize the title block, and position it correctly, the .pdf will include the entire layout, but I would like the TB to remain in it's original (larger) size. I have tried the page setup in the Output panel, but with no luck. I would appreciate any advice.
Hi, You need to set your printer margins (printable area) to 0 in your page setup for that paper size and save your settings, hope that helps.
beej13, Thanks for the info. Are you referring to the page setup in ACAD, or Adobe? I was able to change my paper size to ANSI Full Bleed A, which will give me nearly everything I need (missing the outermost border, but not the title block or content of the drawing). This is better, but still not quite what I am looking for.
beej13, After further fiddling, I found the settings that you described. Everything is working perfectly! Thanks for the info. This forum is great!
