Printing auto cad drawings to pdf

How do I make a pdf of an auto cad drawing? I used to use 995 on my PC, but have up graded to MAC and the platform is not the same.

Hi,
For your information, it looks like AECFilter.dll needed to convert DXF files in Acrobat exists only on PC and not on Macntosh.
I've the same Problem, I'm able to convert on the fly DXF files with Acrobat XI Pro CC on PC but It don't Work on my Mac.
Is it a bug ? or Is there something to Install ? PlugIn or anything eles ?
Many Thanks

Wish to move auto cad drawing to adobe illustrator. Wish to take blue print and layer it for viewing.

We have our drawings in auto cad and need to move them to adobe illustrator and layer the drawing for viewing on a web site.

You can import certain versions of DXF/DXW files into Illustrator and also edit them.
If this can be done efficiently depends on the nature of the files (number of paths etc.)
You could download a trial version and try it on your files.

Poor image quality when exporting Solidworks Drawings to PDF

When "printing" to PDF in Solidworks the drawings become very low quality, within Solidworks they look great, printing to a printer...they look great as well. When printed from another computer to PDF the documents look fine.
This door is contained within the drawing I am trying to print (not the actual assembly) THAT is how it turns out in the actual PDF. note how the straight lines are broken up. I have tried to adjust print settings within Adobe to High Quality and no change. What other settings can I look into to resolve this issue??? It is definitely isolated to my pc alone.

Hi M0lsen,
What version of Acrobat are you using? Do PDFs from other applications exhibit similar issues? And when you print to PDF from the other computer, is the setup there the same (same version of Acrobat, same version of Solidworks)?
Best,
Sara

What is a another app that works like auto cad

What is another application that works like auto cad for graphics.

Try Draftsight, it's free, there is a beta for Mac. It manages only 2D drawings, but does it quite well. Opens and saves AutoCAD compatible dwg files.

Print/Save Selected Text to PDF

I want to use Mozilla Firefox very much for a long time. I like it because the UI is very clean, easy to use, the icon vey pretty. When I use in my Android Mobile, it is very easy and intelligent to select content of page site. Very good!
But I had to install Chrome instead so I've always been using "Print a selected content to PDF" but I couldn't find ways to do that with Firefox. Chrome is doing very good.
I searched all add-ons, pdf printer software but they are only saving or printing all the page (website) to PDF.
Please help me the ways to save a selected content to PDF. Thanks very much.

Hii hanh01001..
I think i know one solution to the problem
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-selected-text/?src=api
this is an add on that is used to print the selected text only..
have a nice day :) :)
---Thanks tracy :)

Highlighting Text in CAD drawings

I would like to have the ability to highlight page items other than "text." For example, if a page has been scanned in (and has not had OCR performed on it) you cannot highlight the text, because Acrobat views the page as a raster image, not as text (because there are no fonts). Similarly, if a document was prepared in Auto CAD, and has no true fonts (but uses vector representations of letters), you cannot highlight the text. In Snagit, the highlight tool is actually a bow-drawing tool with the transparency set to multiply. I was able to achieve somewhat of a workaround to this problem by creating custom shapes in lllustrator, setting the blending space to multiply, and importing those files into Acrobat as custom stamps. The native transparency is retained. However, the proportions are locked, and the only way to change the color is to make a whole new stamp. It would be nice to have another type of highlighter tool in Acrobat, which mimics the bow-drawing highlight tool in Snagit.

Print List Processing Report to PDF

hi all,
i've read many forums about convert info into PDF. but i'm very new to understand those forums.
In case I want to print list processing report as PDF (not hard copy thru printer). First, user types the data on the screen then click on 'Execute' button, then the system shows the result on screen. After that user asks system for print the screen on menu bar by List=>Print.
So please advise me how to get the spool id, then export as pdf. As my opinion, i may use CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and GUI_DOWNLOAD. But where is the place I should put the methods on?
Thanks in advance.

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document using internet explorer 11?

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document stored in a folder (I'm using Windows 7)?
It only prints 1 page then my Brother MFC-J4510DW Printer says "Please put another piece of paper in the feed slot"....the problem is the print setting is set to "manual mode" in Windows 7 rather than "general setting". If you try to change the setting to "general", it will not accept the change.

Hi.
I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages, I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time.
I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window. This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once. However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone. This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc. I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar. Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.

Can no longer print multiple files from a PDF package

Prior to our upgrade to Acrobat Pro X, we had the ability to print multiple files within a PDF package. We would simply select the files we wanted to print, say print and it would print them all. It no longer does so, although it still allows us to select multiple files and to select ALL from the print menu but then it only sends the first file to the printer.
We have tried it on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it won't work correctly on either one.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is very frustrating as these packages are created by folks bundling their e-mail messages to send to the fileroom for printing and filing in the official case files. With the old method we were able to quickly print out all the messages without attachments, and then would only have to individually print those messages that had attachments. As stands now if we get a package with 100 messages in it we will have to select and print each file individually instead of being able to print the 75 without attachments as one print job and then only have to do the seperate handling for the remaining 25 with attachments.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I'm using windows 7. The Acrobat that came with the Adobe Creative Suit 4 is Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I am on a web site that has a page in PDF I click on the printer icon and the print page comes up but the preview side is blank and will not print the page.

Unable to print multiple copies of a PDF

I am running Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 on a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX 10.7.
For some reason I can only print one copy of a PDF at a time, even if I set the number of copies in the print dialogue box and the Printer dialogue box.
Help! It's very frustrating!
Thanks

Hello there,
Is it with a particular PDF (eg protected) or any PDF you open? Have you checked your printer settings and check the documents are being proccessed on your computer as opposed to being sent to your printer to be proccessed.
Hope this helps

Using an F2100 printer & can't scan to pdf there is no option in the file type menu there used be ? I'm using xp but had an hp update and have the problem tried unistalling and reinstalling the HP software and even using system restore to be the update .I hope it is just a setting or something simple. Is there another software I can use ? Many thanks

Follow steps 1 and 2 of this tutorial and you will be able to get a jpg file for each of your book's pages inported into iPhoto: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book. If you don't have the Automator workflow Save PDF to iPhoto (which should be in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder) you can download it from Toad's Cellar.

How to make images searchable (OCR) when printing from Word 2007 to PDF with Acrobat 10

Good Day, I have checked several forums and the help file, but I can't seem to get a straight answer on this issue.
Our office creates many documents in Microsoft Word 2007 that contain both typed text AND images. For example, I have a document with a summary section and then a .jpg of an event from Facebook. We usually Print the document using Adobe PDF and the resulting PDF is searchable with the Find tool. The problem is that the images contain text and we want that to be searchable as well. I found posts saying to take the PDF and Print it again as an image and then run the Recognize Text tool. I have tried this and it does indeed work, although the resulting PDF is grainy looking (even at 600 dpi).
What I would like to know is if there is a way to get the images to be searchable during the conversion from Word to PDF. I could educate my co-workers on how to do this and save the trouble of having to touch each document more than once. Also, I do not like the graininess of the image nor the extra steps involved to convert each document. It will require a lot more hands on maintenance than I have time for.
Any assistance or clues you can provide on this topic would be appreciated. Thank you in advance, Paula C.

Thanks so much for your reply.

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, aren't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Figured it out. It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat. Here's the fix:
Open Finder/Applications
Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
Quit Safari
Launch Safari
Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

Print Booklet fails to create PDF

Greetings all,
I've encountered a frustrating glitch in Print Booklet that doesn't seem to be mentioned in these forums or elsewhere on the web.
I regularly use Print Booklet to create imposed PDF files with the following workflow:
Click File > Print Booklet...
Click Print Settings...
Select Adobe PDF 9.0 Printer
Click Printer...
Check PDF settings, change as required
Click Print
Enter file name details
Click Save
Click OK in print settings dialogue box
Click Print in Print Booklet dialogue box
Wait for PDF to be created.
Most of the time this works fine but all of a sudden the PDF file has failed to be created. No error messages appear - nothing happens at all. The usual PDF progress bars appear in InDesign as it processes each page, but then nothing.
I've had this happen in another similar document but thought it was a corruption in the particular InDesign file and have just ignored it up until now.
The current document is a 24 page colour catalogue and contains many hi rez images. I wonder if the size of the document has exceeded some kind of memory requirement somewhere?
I've been able to use Print Booklet to create a PDF of the first 20 pages, or the last 20, but not the entire document.
The only difference in the document since it last worked correctly is that a few more images have been added and some more text, but no extra pages.
I'm using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat 9 Pro on a MacBook Pro with 4Gb RAM running Mac OS X 10.5.
Any suggestions much appreciated!
