Save As Pdf line weight

Save As Pdf line weight

Save As Pdf line weight

(OP)
Hello All,

I am using SW2005 and when I save my drawings as pdfs the title block line weights are very thick. I changed them to thin with no luck. It prints from SW fine. Also, when I print as pdf it does not give me the pdf extension but .prn. any ideas?

I have created the title block as a block in my drawing template. Don't know if this affects it.

Thanks.

RE: Save As Pdf line weight

The .prn extension signifies that it is a printer text file, not a PDF.

Are doing a Save as... and selecting Adobe Portable Document Format (*.pdf) as the Save as type? ... or are you printing to a PDF printer?

PDF995 from http://www.pdf995.com/ and CutePDF Writer from http://www.cutepdf.com/ are good.

cheers

Thanks, pdf995 worked great!

What service pack are you on?  This was corrected with a later service pack if I remember correctly.  We saw this on drawings without views (purchasing drawings with text only).  Inserting a blank drawing view solved the problem.
