I using Autocad 2017 for Mac and am having problems plotting to PDF. I open the plot window set everything up for plotting and select save as PDF on the bottom left corner of the plot window, the window closes and no PDF is created. Has anyone ran into similar problem?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

 

What OS do you have installed on your Mac? Some Yosemite users see this problem and can correct it by getting updates from the Apple store. Other users that use Custom sheet sizes for their print to PDF also have this issue.

 

Can you give me some more details?

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi Lucas,

Assuming that you have 2017 version of AutoCAD for Mac and running it on latest macOS Sierra.

Can you describe your problem in more details?

In general, I can say that you can get PDF output for sure only if you will create named page setup for the Layout you want to save to PDF using Page Setup Manager and set it current before "printing" to PDF.
