Printing to .pdf opens the file. Don't want to....

[KennethA]

So, when i print a .dwg to a .pdf file, my computer opens the .pdf file for me to see. Might be nice for some, but for me it's a pain i the ass.

 

Does anyone know how to turn it off? Within Autocad or in Windows?

Thanks for all help.

Click on Start Menu -> Devices & Printers. Look for the PDF printer right click & select 'Printing Preferences' from the menu. On the bottom half of the window there is a check mark to 'View Adobe PDF Results', turn it off.

When you select to DWG to PDF.pc3 select properties>Custom Properties>Custom Properties> Deselect "Open in PDF Viewer when done"

Thank you so much! So easy, but so hard when I don't know what to look for.
