Hello Autodesk Community!!
My office is using Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2016, and typically the function we use upon completion of a design is to "Print to PDF", which saves the document in proper format to my desired destination.
I am experiencing an issue where the file intermittently does not save upon executing this function.
Its not that bothersome, but the more bothersome part is that there is NO NOTIFICATION on whether the document successfully printed/saved whenever i execute this function, or no status bar to show its progress...
can someone please provide me instructions on how to program the software to:
1) pop up a status box so I can track the progress of it Printing to PDF
2) get the PDF to open itself upon "Print to PDF" so I can confirm i successfully performed the function to Print to PDF?
Any and all advice is greatly welcomed
Please and thank you!!

I have no idea what you mean by "print to pdf", but here is the PLOT command pop-up ready to output to PDF and what you need to do to ensure the program opens up the PDF on completion so you can check it's content. Hope this helps:
Thank you for the KB reference!
Unfortunately, I was unable to find the same options under my "File > Plot" options...
Are we talking about the same exact version of AutoCAD here?
I am running:
Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2016
v: M.49.0.0
see the attachment and provide guidance (navigational instructions) if possible.
Please and thank you!!!

@Anonymous,
Welcome to the AutoCAD LT forums board!
As a test;
I tried testing AutoCAD LT 2016 on 3 separate system's and have not come across your issue. Could you please try testing AutoCAD LT in a new user environment with default settings and post back with any updates.
Thanks.
