NX 8.5 Print to PDF
NX 8.5 Print to PDF
(OP)
Dear all,
Does anyone know if there is some software requirement for the "Print to PDF" functionality? Is Acrobat a requirement and does it need to be installed PRIOR to NX? I thought that NX came with a PDF printer module.
The problem I have is that in my knew NX8.5 installation I don't see the PDF printer in the Print dialog. I am able to export to PDF though but here I can't choose a PDF paper size for example...
Best regards,
Julian

RE: NX 8.5 Print to PDF
The Adobe install can/could be done before or after, it's a matter of defining a "virtual windows printer" that sends the print job to a pdf file instead of a physical printer. I have never tried any other software for this purpose than Adobe's.
Q2, NX does contain "export to pdf", which also sends the "...." to a pdf. Per default drawings get exported 1:1 since the scale factor is default 1.

Tomas

Yeah, wasn't talking about a specific "Print to PDF" function but rather that I saw PDF as a virtual printer in the print dialog. It is indeed the virtual one created by Adobe.
