Problem with SAVE AS PDF

Problem with SAVE AS PDF

Problem with SAVE AS PDF

(OP)
Hi all,
I am having trouble using the Save As PDF add-in in Solidworks. Everytime I use it I make sure the page set-up is correct. Then I run the command. When I check the created PDF file it always creates it in the portrait layout. The command seems to switch it from a landscape setting to portrait setting. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Turn off High Quality setting. That fixed a problem I had.

Kind Regards,
SWCADMAN

I changed the default setting on the Bluebeam printer to landscape.
Still having the same problem.

Thanks for all the help.
Found out it was a rights issue. Needed to be a power user.

RE: Problem with SAVE AS PDF

We were able to fix that problem by just adding to the security section of the Bluebeam printer under everyone "Allow Manage Printers" & "Allow Manage Documents".  So far that's worked for us and those people are not Power Users.
