Super slow to plot "DWG to PDF"

[cad.nws]

Hi, 

I try to plot some drawings to PDF. However, it is super slow and the AutoCAD crashes so easily while plotting. Also, How can I reduce the PDF size? 

Thanks,

Does this happen with all drawings or just one?  Can you post the problem dwg?  What are your computer specs?

Under:
Options > Plot and Publish > Background Processing Options

Make sure Plotting is unchecked

I just double checked, It is unchecked.

Hi,

>> How can I reduce the PDF size? 

2 options:

• reduce the resolution of the PDF output (within the details of the PC3)
• make sure your PC3 is set to out text objects as text (and not converted to graphic (that can reduce a PDF to 5% sometimes)

May I ask what the joke here is ... using my suggestions to try to isolate the issue?
