Title: DWG to PDF.pc3
Post by: Pukenzz on April 09, 2018, 08:45:46 AM

I am using the DWG to PDF.pc3 printer option.

Is there a way to get it to…
•   Stop creating sheet views under the bookmark tab
•   Stop creating layers
•   Stop naming the page the same as my tab just name it 1, 2, 3, etc
•   Rotate the final print to landscape orientation
•   Set the navigation tab to page only

Thanks in advance

All but one of those are within the properties panel for the PC3 file.

There are plenty of examples of using lisp and plot to pdf that will do exactly what you want. Here is an example http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?103522-Send-to-PDF

In both versions explore how to set the PDF driver to do most of what you asked about as explained here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-B4A77E0A-76D2-4DEC-8E3E-0865DF550147-htm.html
