Set a PDF scale in Bluebeam when plotting from Autocad

[crobertsLWYJ8]

Is there a way to set a PDF scale in Bluebeam or other software when plotting from Autocad?

@crobertsLWYJ8 You set the scale in AutoCAD BEFORE you create the PDF. Do you want to learn how? Then show us what you are working with and your chosen PLOT command settings in two or three screenshots.

If you only want to fix your PDF in BLUEBEAM then you'll need to go over there to ask how to do it: https://support.bluebeam.com/home.html

I want to be able to plot and my PDF have data associated to it that sets the viewport scale which then bluebeam can read and automatically set the scale in Bluebeam.

@crobertsLWYJ8 you totally control the first portion in AutoCAD like the rest of us, if you are unsure, share your DWG file here.

But you'll need to ask over at BLUEBEAM what to do next in that software.

Why would you expect a pdf file to somehow contain scale information on vector objects like line with any pdf viewing software? Hopefully there’s a graphic scale on the pdf so that when you print to the paper size the pdf does have the information on then you can use that graphic scale to measure what’s on the hard copy.
