Viewing and printing a .dwg file

I am using the pro version of adobe acrobat.  I try opening a .dwg file and it seems to revert to an 8.5 x 11.00 in rather than the original 24.0 x 36.0 in size.  How can I get the file to open to original size?

Something to try.
For Windows, get to the Control Panel > Printers.
Select Adobe PDF, right click to open the Preferences.
Open the Advanced tab. Now, click on the 'Printing Defaults' button.
Mid-point in the tab's dialog use the drop-down menu for "Adobe PDF Page Size" to select "Arch D".
Click the Apply button and 'OK' out.
Now, with Acrobat open go into Acrobat's Preferences.
Select the category "Convert to PDF".
Select the appropriate entry present in the "Converting To PDF" column.
Click the "Edit Settings" button.
Use the dialog to provide additional configuration selections.
From Acrobat, File > Create PDF > From File
Browse to and select a DWG.
Acrobat will call up the associated native CAD application to process the file through PDFMaker.
n.b., will have to have compatible Acrobat / CAD alignment.
Ought have an Arch D (24x26) page size for the output PDF.
Be well...

    Hello,
    I need to view and print PDF files from Java Swing Application.How do I do that?I appreciate your help.
    Thank you

    If you have a link to the URL pointing to the PDF file, you can allow the browser to open it. Then use the print function of the browser to print the PDF document.

  • Viewing and Printing Acrobat 3D Files

    I'm an Adobe consultant and trainer, and I have a couple questions about Acrobat 3D.
    Most print service providers are not going to have copies of Acrobat 3D. If 3D objects are created or imported into Acrobat 3D, can it be opened and viewed in Acrobat Professional? Can it printed in Acrobat Professional?
    What happens to the 3D? Lonn Lorenz of Adobe told me today at Adobe's Momentum in Print show here in San Francisco that it would be converted to a bitmapped proxy, but he wasn't sure if it would be low-res or high-res. Which is it?
    How does Adobe Reader fit with Acrobat 3D? The data sheet mentioned Reader 7.0.7 for reviewing PDFs from Acrobat 3D files. Will that be available for both Mac and Windows or Windows only? When will it be available?

    I just spent a day looking into various 3D publishing and viewing options and so far have found Acrobat 3D to be the most promising. However, after experimenting with a trial version, I have run into some problems.
    At first I tried the CAPTURE feature thinking this was the best way to create the 3D image. While I was successful, the image was dark and rather large, and my CAD program bogged down badly.
    Then I realized Acrobat 3D could read 3D Studio files which my program can create, and the results were excellent. The original colors were carried over, the file size was smaller and image manipulation in Acrobat 3D was excellent. But when opening the files with Reader 7.0.5 I had the following problems:
    1. If the rendering is set to DirectX, the image is totally white; only setting to "Software" gives the correct results.
    2. With one file, parts of the model were lost when opened in Reader.
    3. The largest file (1.5mb pdf) was very slow to manipulate.
    4. Lighting results are not as good.
    5. Sections are not possible.
    I am producing more and more work in 3D and the possibility of clients being able to view 3D models is very exciting. However, the results with the current Reader are simply not good enough to justify the investment in Acrobat 3D. I understand Reader 7.0.7 will have improved 3D capability; will the above shortcomings be addressed?

  • I want to view and print a HTML file that I saved to my hard disc.

    On the Symantec website, when I clicked for more info, it opened a web page, but the Firefox menu did not appear in the upper right corner. I wanted to print the page. I right-clicked to save the page to my hard disc. I still want to print it. What do I do?

    In nearly all situations, Ctrl+p should call up the Print dialog. (Unfortunately, there isn't a similar shortcut to go to Print Preview so you can see what you're going to get.)

  • Is there a way to view and print a single month.....

    without the partial previous and partial following months?
    I'd like be able to view and print, for example, just August, without seeing the last few days of July and the first few days of September.
    Thanks.

    Yes, people I work with use it, assistants fill the fields out for me. As far as I know there is no "Print Browser" option. Some folks have assistants copy and paste the info into text, csv or xml files.    Since everthing has gone to meta tags, this approach is going the way of the electric spoon or feeding mayonnaise to Tuna.

  • Adobe Reader 9.1.3 Issues with browser viewing and printing

    I have several users reporting issues after upgrading to Adobe Reader 9.1.3
    Issue #1:  User tries to open a PDF on a bank website using Adobe 9.1.3 but receives an error stating file could not be found.  Adobe 9 was uninstalled and Adobe 6 re-installed.  The file on the bank website was then viewable without issue.
    Issue #2:  Different user successfully opens pdf on a different bank website, but is unable to print while viewing in browser using Adobe 9.1.3.  User had to save file to desktop and reopen locally to print from Adobe 9.1.3.   Uninstalling 9.1.3 and re-installing Adobe 6 allowed them to print from the browser successfully.
    Issue #3:  turning off "View in Browser" causes the error "File cannot be found" when trying to view a PDF on a website.  This appears to be happening on sites external to our network, but not on internal sites.  Turning on "View in Browser" corrects the problem.
    Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

    To clarify my previous post, I had already seen http://forums.adobe.com/message/1770581 .  I mentioned in my post that I get the message "Preview not supported" when I click the Preview button from the print dialog in Adobe Reader, and thus concluded that the "Preview" workaround discussed in that thread wasn't helping me.
    However, re-reading that post, they were talking about using the Mac "Preview" application to print the pdf file.  Like every other application (other than Reader) I have tried, the Mac's Preview application prints just fine, and is another workaround.
    The only program that doesn't print for me is Adobe Reader.
    BTW, I also have an Intel chip in my MacBook Pro.
    Re-installing Leopard, as suggested by one post in that thread, is not a reasonable option for this problem.
    In fact, since Preview allows me to view and print .pdf's , my solution is probably just going to be not to use Adobe Reader.  In fact, had I not been new to the Mac, I would have known that I didn't need Adobe Reader at all.
    However, I'm glad this happened, in the sense that I use CS3 on the PC, and had considered moving to CS4 on the Mac.  However, since Adobe apparently hasn't figured out how to get printing to work on a Mac from their flagship product (!), I will be sure to do a lot of testing of CS4 before considering buying the upgrade.

  • Pages disappear when viewing and printing

    On our Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1) 64-bit computer, using the Reader application directly (not through a browser), we have been frustrated with blank pages appearing while viewing and printing.
    This happens in Adobe Reader 9.5.0, 9.5.3, and 11.0.06.  (We had been experiencing these problems with 9.5.3, so uninstalled and installed 9.5.0, then updated to 11.0.06.  Same problem appears in all versions, but now is exceptionally bad in 11.0.06.   At one time we had updated to Reader 10, but reverted to Reader 9 because Reader 10 would not center pages correctly when printed, especially when Fit to Page was used.)
    When we open a file, pages initially display correctly.  But when we begin to scroll back and forth from page to page, the page images start disappearing. When we print, pages may display correctly just before the print button is pressed, and then may disappear after pressing the print button. If it disappears before the print function has completed, blank pages are output.   If a multi page document, the first few pages may print correctly then blank pages. 
    Once a page goes blank while viewing or printing, it does not restore.  One must close the PDF file and open it again.
    We have over 200 documents of 30 to 50 pages each, which are printed on a frequent basis and then bound.  It is extremely annoying and costly to have blank pages output when there should be info on the page.    We have been printing these documents for eight years.  Two years ago started using a brand new Windows 7 computer for printing PDF files, but the blank page issue started surfacing about 6 to 9 months ago and is getting more frequent.

    The system has 4GB of memory.  The processor is Intel Core i5 - 2400.
    As per your suggestion, I updated the driver for the integrated graphics
    card (Intel Graphics HD 2000).  The new driver is dated January 2014.  The
    old driver was dated June 2011.
    I tried to replicate the blank pages situation, and none went blank.   Will
    continue to test over the next week or so, but this looks very promising.
    Many, many thanks, Pat!

  • Viewing and printing attachments

    Hi all
    I think perhaps I am being exceptionally thick but I am trying to view and print attachments from an email.
    Previously, I used to click on the attachment, open and then print it - hey presto, easy!
    Now, however, the only option when I click is 'download to computer'.  OK, done that but where is it?
    I presume there is some kind of default location for these files once downloaded but I can't find them!
    Can anyone tell me where to look, please?

    When you click on “Save” a box is brought up giving you option to open, save or cancel. If you click on the small black triangle to the right of the save button it will give you options to save, save as or save and open.
    Click on “save as”. This will open the folder where your attachments are being saved to. If you then look in the address box at the top it will show you the path to get to that folder. It will be something like your computer name > documents > downloads. If you then go to that folder you should find your attachment there.
    The other option is right click the save button as above but then select save and open and the attachment will then be opened for you and you can save it where ever you want. It will of course mean it is saved in the default location and where you saved it.
     You could also change the  location you want it to save to by right clicking and selecting save as then select the folder you want to save it into.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:
