Topic: PDF WITH ACAD 2007

[BREZI]

Buggers advertised that a pdf.pc3 file would be avaialble with 2007, but I cannot find it.   :pissed:

Anybody got any knowledge on this??

In your plot box where your printers are, do you have a choice of DWG to PDF?  If so, its just a matter of finding the PC3 file.  In explorer, do you search system files and folders?  If not that may be why you cant find it.  Look in Documents and Settings\{your login}\Application data\autodesk\plotters   or something to that degree. (Im home sick, so I cant look it up)

What does being away from home for so long have anything to do with finding files?

FYI.

You need to increase the DPI to about 600 or else it prints the PDF off center

I've found that this only helps when printing a "Window" or printing "Extents" with the "Center Plot" option selected in the plot dialog.  It does not seem to help when trying to print a "Layout" - that always ends up off-center.
