cat ryan Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I am starting to have an issue with pdf conversion, hope you can help. When I convert a dwg to pdf with three drawings one or two seem to blow the scale of lines and images (they seem to appear at a very low res or scale), even with the line thickness at 0.05 and high res image. But it does not seem to be consistant as the third of the three will publish ok. If I go into another drawing created from the previous i don't have the problem? it just seems random. I have not altered any setting. Thanks in anticipation of help. cR autocad 2006 and CS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat ryan Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Update: Just redrawn the whole thing and symptom has gone! it seems to be some problem where the adobe/pdf converts the dwg information. any clues? cR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphiinx Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Do you plot the drawing using Autocads plot function... "DWG to PDF"? or are you just converting it in adobe? I always, always use DWG to PDF plotter in autocad, for numerous reasons, but mostly for the simple fact that its always done the job correctly. If your not using it, try it out, and let me know, if you are using the function post, and let me know... start trouble shooting from there.

SLW210 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 AutoCAD 2006 does not have the DWG to PDF option. Try using CutePDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphiinx Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Did not know that... Learn something new every day. To Cat Ryan... GET NEW VERSION OF AUTOCAD!!!! (just kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat ryan Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well it's been working for me over the last few years, just command "appload" and then chosen the drivers from adobe autocad 2006 file! It's just within the last couple of days this has occured. Sphiinx, being independant means that I just cannot afford all these upgrades (violins playing in the background;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have Adobe Pro, the AutoDesk plot to *.pdf works best. I gave up using Adobe when plotting to *.pdf. Good answer Spiinx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
