    Dwg to PDF?

    Normally I am happy printing my Dwg drawings on my Inkjet printer using 8.5 x 11 paper.

    I now have a drawing that measures about 18 x 18. and I need to print it.

    I spoke to Staples and they said they could do it if it was a PDF file.

    I used Plot and a printer name of Bulldog PDF Printer.

    This gave me a PDF version of the drawing but it only showed me that portion of the

    drawing that fit on a 8.5 x 11 sheet.

    How do I get this full size into a PDF file?

    Thanks for any and all help.

     

    PS I am using AC LT 2008.

    Not familiar with that exact brand, but printing to PDF is no different that printing to paper: start by checking your exact plot settings and parameters, if they fail, you need to share a lot more info than you have so far.

     

    BTW, is there a reason you chose not to use the built in PDF driver in LT2008?

    The reason I did not use the built in PDF printer is because I did not know it was there.

    Thanks for pointing that out.

    I have now used it and I think I have what I need..

    I will see when I take the file to Staples.

    Thanks for the help
