Plotting with Adobe Acrobat Writer

[eltorreBE558]

Hello all,

I am having troubles plotting on AutoCad. I need to convert it into an Adobe PDF, but that option doesn't appear on the printer section. I have already downloaded the Acrobat Writer, and I was told that it would just show up afterwards, but it doesn't. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to do this.

Greatly appreciated,

Hi Elizabeth,

What AutoCAD for Mac version are you using?

If it is 2018 or later version, then you don't need Adobe Acrobat Writer for creating PDFs.

You can use one of the predefined AutoCAD PDF printers to save  drawings to PDF (Adobe PDF) format.

In Print window open "Printer" drop-down list and select one of "AutoCAD PDF... .pc3" printers:

I have the 2021 version of AutoCad. I have tried that, but every time that
I preview the page or when I do convert it into a PDF, the lines are
extremely thick, and I don’t know how to fix it.

Thank you for your help,
Elizabeth

If you print (save to PDF) from Layout, then be sure to uncheck "Scale lineweights" option in Print window:

 If you use Plot Style for printing, then check that lineweights set correctly in it.

If you assign lineweights to objects or to Layers, then check if they are assigned correctly.
