I have successfully printed a dwg to a pdf but instead of its file size being 450k it is 1.4 m. This makes sending pdfs via email too cumbersome. It seems that even though the outcome is B&W somewhere along the line "it" thinks it is Color. Any suggestions? I noticed that in Page Setup I no longer have the option of "DWG to PDF.pc3". I don't know if that would cure this problem or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You may want to condiser loading Cute PDF driver. It creates a virtual PDF. DWF has been around I wish the rest of the world would get on board. Namely reprogrphics
I am running the 2013 version on Mac. I do not see anything in this version about plotting or plotters. BTW, I agree 1.4 M is not big but when I have 30 drawings that I need to email that makes it cumbersome!
I noticed this problem on drawings that had a lot of text in them. Here's what to do:
When you go to plot in Autocad, you select your PDF printer, whether it is Adobe Acrobat or Bluebeam or whatever PDF driver you are using.
In the “Plot” dialog box, click on “Properties” of the printer.
Click the “+” next to “Graphics” to open more options.
Highlight “TrueType Text” .
In the lower pane, notice you have the choice of “TrueType as text” or “TrueType as graphics”. Click on “TrueType as text”.
To save this setting for future use, click the “Save As” button to create a new .pc3 file. Then use this new .pc3 file in all future prints so you don’t have to change this setting in the future.
Why they have the default set to change text to graphics is puzzling since it results in huge PDF files that don't even look good.
