How do you do PDF?

(OP)
I have a hard time to produce coloured PDF with line thickness applied. Anyone knows how to do it? It can be easily done in CATIA.

I use www.pdf995.com. It installs as a printer, but creates PDF files instead of actually printing.

Thanks very much.

My company has Adobe Distiller installed. But it didn't help much. Because UG A0 drawing has to be ploted. And when I plot PDF file it turns out black and white and no line thickness at all.

Hi,

1) Could you provide more information, eg. UG version ?
2) Please try to find this topic in forum archive.
Generaly you should add postscript printer and print to file. Disstiler should listen this folder and convert ps files to PDF.
