I have just downloaded AutoCAD and can not find an option to save files as a PDF. Why?

Hi,

 

>> I have just downloaded AutoCAD and can not find an option to save files as a PDF. Why?

The basic answer to "why" is: because PDF is not a file format for CAD, so there is no "SAVEAS" to PDF.

 

But you can use the command _PLOT (or _PUBLISH) and use the plotterdriver "DWG to PDF.pc3", that gives you all options to create PDF-files from our CAD-content.

AutoCAD does not "Save As .pdf", nor does it have an export function for pdf.

 

Please use the prior suggestion by @Alfred.NESWADBA to generate your pdf file.  There are various add-on applications (BlueBeam, etc...) that will aslo provide what you need but the printer/plotter emulator that's included with AutoCAD works quite nicely.

 

Cheers!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

Which version of AutoCAD are you using? If you attach a sample drawing I can show you the steps to create a PDF. Do you need a certain size sheet/scale?
