Print black and White PDF's

[eaverdugo]

I am trying to print 36x24 PDFs. I have the PST set to monochrome which supposedly "always, always works", and tried to put in place a page set up- did one from scratch and tried using the ones provided by Autocad. I use my own title blocks and prefer working exclusively in model space. I also tried using different page set ups such as Arch D and custom 24x36. I also tried using different captures such as extents, window, and limits. When I go to the save as PDF at the bottom of the print dialogue box I can select use greyscale, but then I get line weights that are barely legible. I know that goes back to the PST files, but the program will not load my own ctb files (I guess Autocad 2013 lt for Macs does not use ctb files. And if I select the edit PST file, the program hangs and I have to shut it down.  So far, not really enjoying this program. I am sure it is operator error, but it seems the program allows little customization by the user. Please help.

Thank You,

Emilio Verdugo

Welcome to the Forums

Your settings look fine, but I would suggest using a greater DPI than the 75 it is on at the moment.

Also unfortunately this is The AutoCAD for WINDOWS forums you need to post your question here AutoCAD for Mac

Thanks for letting me know I am a newbie to Autodesk land. I think I found a way to make it work, not very efficient but effective. I don't know why we can't import page setups and CTB files but That's another day.
