AutoCAD - pdf

Question
Hi,

I just asked you a question about layers and layouts. The person I am supposed to send these drawings to just suggested saving each layout as a .pdf file. I have to email these files to him. Will that work? And how do I save an AutoCAD drawing as a .pdf file?

Answer
Shaun,

You can't save a pdf directly from Autocad. You would need to buy a 3rd party software such as Adobe Acrobat (not the Acrobat Reader), Acroplot, or PDF995 (cheapest one around - $10). These software acts like a virtual plotter - which can convert any document to pdf as easy as printing. Hope this helps!

Regards-
J. B. Borge
