Hey there!
I've got an AutoCAD drawing, 3-view of a designed plane for a class I'm taking. And I need an 11x17 print of said drawing. As I don't possess an 11x17 printer, Im just doing trial runs on 8.5x11, however I'm doing something miserably wrong, and whenever I go to export the pdf, I NEVER get the export window I've chosen around the drawing. It seems that the margins are overtaking everything, is there any way to properly center an export with AutoCAD that I'm missing? It has even been cutting parts off of my drawing, even when I just say "fit to page."
Thanks in advance.

It seems that the bottom of the export is always cut, even putting at sizes unnecessarily small, it cuts the bottom of the page out.

Why would you export to PDF when one can create a PDF directly from within AutoCAD? The resultant PDF can be opened using Adobe Reader.

Is that not what I'm doing using the EXPORTPDF command? or is there another way to create a PDF from AutoCAD?

In the PLOT dialog box the user has the option to create a PDF plot file. That is what I would use. If you wish to use the command you are using now then be my guest.

Does this output have to be to scale?

Both in manufacturing and in AEC.
