Brandon here back with another new 2 minute Tuesday!
In todays video we take a look at the process needed to Save our Drawings as a PDF.
This is also the same method to print a drawing to pdf in AutoCAD since there isn't really a difference between the two.
In the video I walk through the various setting and options when saving or printing your drawing to a pdf from either a layout/paperspace or from model space!
If you want to keep up to date with new videos, be sure to subscribe to the channel and check out my blog, cadintentions.com.
Oh and let me know what autocad tip, trick or tutorial you'd like to see in the next one down below!
Cheers and thanks for watching

Today was first time opening AutoCAD (didn't even know it was on my computer). I just followed along and was able to export a dwg to pdf. Thank you for the clear and concise instructions.

A big thumbs up to you. you saved me today like a superhero. It might sound ridiculous but that's the truth

[@nhlakancube6614]

You make it so easy for the novice like me to follow and understand better! Great mentor

[@anville95]

Thanks bro

Brandon, I have a PDF file that someone sent me, it's a IT network drawing. When you open the PDF you see some of the information clearly. lines and numbers, but the graphic for the switches don't look clear until you zoom in a bunch. Any thoughts as to what could be happening when saving from a DWG to a PDF?

[@BashirChoudry]

What is the besting AutoCAD setting for generating Accessible PDF. Accessible PDF means meeting the standards such as WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, HHS, and PDF/UA that ensure a document will also be accessible by individual with vision impairment etc.

[@angelical6471]

You’re the best!! This was really helpful

[@RinioNightcore]

Very good video you helped me finish my assignment hehe

[@natiusvisser4215]

Will you please do another video on scales, i.e. 1cm=100m / 1:100. Regards from South Africa.

[@tandation5472]

Thank you so much! Nice guide

Hi Mr. Brandon, i have a question about autocad plot to pdf. I have a complex autocad drawing with lot of lines in it (overlapping lines). So, when i plot to pdf and start to print it by printer, it take so long to wait 1 page to print. i'd like to ask you about the settings to make it faster to print. Temporarily, i convert my pdf file to jpeg format to make it leasy to print, but it give me non-vector drawing. I'd loved to thankful if you can give one tutorial video to answer it... :)

Question on caddie 9 print or save to pdf format

[@stevethepiper]

great videos Brandon, I am working with some 8 1/2"x11" drawings and trying to get them to where I can batch plot but keep getting error, waiting to see if someone in the forum can point me to a solution.

[@daniloclemente541]

mine is in the very bottom left. how to fix it?

[@notepadplusplus4923]

Thank you, very helpful

[@Cadintentions]

Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@stevecanes4677]

I experience disappearing of the cursor anytime I select plot,any solution?.

[@Mr_BUSINESS_24_7]

Why is my PDF conversion blank ?

[@abbyosullivan8567]

Recently every time I plot (plotting in model space, window) to PDF then edit PDF (because I have to add things per my jobs) it turns my drawing into an image. Why is this happening now but was not happening before when I was doing this? If you can help, that would be greatly appreciated.

[@boctok55]

I'm trying to output an actual size drawing for a small sheet metal project that I need to span multiple pages, but I can only get one page that is usually blank. How can I get multiple pages? - Never mind, I figured it out.

[@101raziel905]

Tell us how

[@boctok55]

@@101raziel905 it turned out that the original that was sent to me was very large with the area that contained the drawing only covering a small part. There was a small mark or dot that I couldn't see placed far away from the drawing that prevented me from resizing. I deleted that dot and was able to resize

[@danokennethedrianp.3658]

When I plotted a 20"x30" paper size and turned it into pdf. The pdf page size turned into 40"x26.67". How do I fix it??

[@Fshah1]

Hi every body, why scale of converted to PDF is not matched in paper printing? Please advise.
