Hi, I'm having trouble printing to PDF from my autocad on OS X. I need to print to PDF to place into my indesign layouts etc. I have 2 options to get a PDF when I print 1 - Print via Adobe PDF 9 Printer which I believe uses distiller 2 - once the print dialogue is open, click the PDF button (bottom left) and save as PDF Both have problems. 1 - No file is created - it doesn't ask for a destination or file name but says complete 2 - The saved PDF is very poor quality I have tried the file on my friends mac and it still has the exact problems, but then on the CAD studio's PC's which as default have a plotter installed named DWG to PDF which works flawlessly. My guess is that for option 2 the default quality is set very low - I have checked a lot of places but got no improvement.
My guess for option 1 would be that the printer isn't installed correctly but I have reinstalled acrobat pro and still nothing saves. I previously had acrobat pro 9.4 which google says disables the pdf printer and when I printed to it it said it wasn't installed. So I uninstalled & reinstalled to go back to 9.0 which creates the problem where it doesn't save a file. I have attached 2 PDF outputs for your consideration.
Zoom to 100% to see it properly. I tried printing both and they both print as displayed on screen.
Please let me know if any of you have any advice on to how I can fix these problems or create a new workflow to output pdfs from AutoCAD mac 2010. Thanks, Luke.
