Trying to convert CAD files via 3D capture

Hi there,
I just finished watching a tutorial on how to convert CAD files (in my case, from AutoCAD 2010) into PDF through the 3D capture feature. After following the directions and selecting all the appropriate settings I want, it then tells me to press Print Screen (on the AutoCAD file), which I do, however, the tutorial doesn't explain how to actually get it into Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9 after that. When I press Print Screen over the AutoCAD file, is a Settings menu within Adobe Acrobat supposed to appear simultaneously, or do I have to copy and paste like most other print screen applications?
Thanks!

Hello JLeahScott,
Sorry for this late answer... Steve has reached me but i was a little bit busy...
In order to convert DWG files as Steve tolds you you should go under Autodesk Autocad conversion settings
- Open APEX and then go to Edit / Preferences
- Under the Convert to PDF tabs, select Autodesk AutoCAD and press Edit Settings
In order to convert 2D DWG files to PDF here are the default import parameters to use.
See screenshot in attachement:
In order to convert 3D DWG files to PDF, please Select Convert Model to 3D option
Then press Chosse 3D Settings and select the 3D conversion settings you need.
Let me knwo if you are still facing problem with your conversion settings..
Thanks

    1) What you downloaded should be a packed file (zip, tar.gz, etc) that needs to be unpacked into the directory of your choice.
    2) & 3) are answered by Ant's installation documentation (the page you're quoting from):

  • Question: converting cad file to pdf?

    Question: how do I use acrobat to convert a cad file to a pdf? See the question mark??!
    Message was edited by: annamariacathy

    That's a useless post. You have not provided any info on what CAD file you are trying to convert, what system you are on and so on. THat aside, the usual way is the otehr way around - your export to PDF from the CAD program.

  • Error when trying to convert excel files to pdf

    I'm getting the following error when trying to convert .xls and .xlsx files to pdf, using the "Create PDF" option:
    Error message from the primary converter:
    ALC-PDG-010-012-PDFMaker reported an error while printing the document.
    Word, Powerpoint and Text files convert without any issues. Also I'm able to opent the excel files and convert them to pdf using the acrobat option in excel.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It is always difficult when you need to convert multiple xls files to pdf or multiple sheets to pdf. If you have a single file to convert then the best method would be to copy your data to doc file and then convert it into PDF . If you have multiple files to convert then it is really difficult to convert all the files manually. Then the better method would be to use converter tool to convert excel to pdf . By doing this you can convert many files in just few seconds.

  • I am trying to convert a file from pdf. I can't see it after I hit convert to word and view converted files. How do I know if I have a subscription? Adobe is on my mac dashboard.

    How do I tell if I have already paid for a membership? When I try to convert a pdf file to word, it looks like it is processing the task, but then I can't find the converted file when it says view converted file. Huh? Adobe is on my mac dashboard, I have had an account but can't see the results . . . thanks.

    Hi subscription question,
    I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 freezes when trying to convert .m4v files to .mp4 files

    I'm trying to convert some things I got on itunes in order to put them on my android phone. Media encoder freezes before I even start encoding though, any ideas? My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, if you need any more info I'd be happy to provide it.

    I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
    The big red arrow.
    You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
    Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
    Your button is not grayed out.
    Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
    In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely.  Good luck.

  • I am trying to move a file via ftp

    I am trying to move a file from my local share drive on my computer to another server via ftp protocol. I can log into the server and get acknowledgments after entering my user name and password. The problem lies when trying to send my file. I am getting an error which states unexpected command. I am trying to use the "put" command. This works in a dos window but the ni visa is giving this error not the server itself I believe. It occurs with the last write/read statement. I am attaching my vi. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    VISA supports TCP/IP but it doesn't support FTP afaik. NI sells an Internet Toolkit with FTP functions or you could use System Exec to run the DOS command. That's what I do for tftp transfers.

  • I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality.  I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big.  ??????

    I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file.  After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality.  What am I doing wrong.  As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send.  HELP! Please.

    If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
    You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
    If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

  • I am trying to convert a file to word and I keep getting "raffle ticket.pdfConversion Failure"   can you help me?

    Conversion Failure"  what am I doing worng??

    Hi sharonm37841720,
    I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Are you able to convert other PDF files without error? How large is this particular file? Are you converting via Adobe Reader or the the ExportPDF web interface?
    For starters, please clear the browser cache, and log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com. Make sure that you're using a supported web browser (see System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services) and that there aren't any proxy or firewall settings that are restricting your access to the Internet.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara
