exporting to pdf at AO with no printer

[cathbates]

This is driving me mad! I need to save files as AO 1:25 pdfs to send to clients for printing. I have it all set up but as I have no plotter it wont let me save / export it!

 

On other threads it suggested selecting plotter "none " but that is not an option given to me , it only comes up with the home printers I have used ( they only doA4) there must be a way of doing this?

 

 

Please please help

You should select the included with AutoCAD DWGtoPDF.pc3 as your printer or your favorite 3rd party PDF plotter.

sorry I dont see that option anywhere?

How are you trying to plot?

 

Do you have this?

 

[cathbates]

No, should say I am on a mac if that helps? When i am in model & go to page set up . the only options on printer/ plotter are the ones I have used in the past which are A4 printers, the same thing if I am in layout ?

 

Sorry I am new to this and not v good at finding my way around

Do a google/web search for pdf drivers for MAC maybe Cutepdf its free for pc's it has all general paper sizes. It only writes PDF. I would have thought the MAC came with a system PDF printer.

I believe with MAC you use the PLOT to PDF or SAVE as PDF. Maybe an actual Mac user will come along for you.
