OMEGA-ThundeR Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Hi, A few months back i saw an PDF file from autocad that had some basic functions like turning on/off the layers. How can you make such PDF files? Is this an Acad 2010 function only? Or were we able to do that in earlier versions? Quote
StevenMc Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Not sure i quite understand you omega, could you justify a bit more please...forgive me im a bit slow this morning Quote
OMEGA-ThundeR Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 Well i saw an PDF file (on my pc, so with my own eyes) that had basic autocad functions and one i remember was enable or disabble layers (turning on/off), but there were more functions. I dunno if i still have the file, and if i do i don't know where it is. Since in autocad 2010 there are better PDF functions i thought that it might came from Acad2010 with some DWG to PDF export. So i am looking on how to do that. Quote
StevenMc Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 was it a screen shot on how to do this? sorry if im asking silly questions hehe Quote
OMEGA-ThundeR Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 No, it really was an pdf file.. i'll try to find it... Hmz, this looks like one (or thé one) file i was looking for. click... It has the layer on/off function (perhaps the only thing possible but still handy). Oh, you have to download it i think (but it does show the layer function in-browser (on the left, button)). And i have Adobe Acrobat 8 professional, in case it doesn't show in the normal version). Quote
StevenMc Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 i just had a look at it. im not sure if this is just a 2010 function or its the actual PDF itself that has the functions. i know that 2009 doesnt have that option, so i would say its most probably 2010. its just an educated guess though Quote
OMEGA-ThundeR Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 Perhaps some one else know how to do it, so i'll just wait for the 'answer man'.. Quote
StevenMc Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 good idea, i'll have a look about when i have a minute, see if i can get an answer. im interested to know how its done now Quote
michaeloureiro Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 oh man, this is too good to be true:)!! does anybody know if you can do this in cad07?? Quote
StevenMc Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f35.html this link tell you how to do it :) Quote
NBC Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 From my understanding, it sounds like that the pdf file the OP mentioned was created using PUBLISH (to a pdf file, and not a dwf file). Within the PUBLISH command, there is the facility (using the PUBLISHOPTIONS button) to include layer and block information Quote
michaeloureiro Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 looks like you need adobe professional to do this.... Quote
