NX6 pdf printing issue

NX6 pdf printing issue

NX6 pdf printing issue

(OP)
I am having an issue when I try to create a pdf file of our drawings. I can go to File>Export>PDF and the file comes out fine, except the fonts are different from what we're using on our drawings. However, when I try to create a pdf file by clicking on the "Print" icon or clicking on File>Print, the drawing comes out on an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet. I created a sheet size so the drawing should print properly, but the pdf comes out with a lot of white space above and below the drawing. I've attached pics of the pdf settings. I hope that helps.

Thanks for your help,

Al

P.S.
We're using NX 6.0.0.24 on Windows 7, 64bit.

Thanks again!

RE: NX6 pdf printing issue

If you want the text to look exactly like what is on your drawing when you export a pdf, change the "output text" option to "polylines". This will convert the NX font to lines & arcs in the pdf output, preserving the exact shape of the font. The downside is, it is no longer "text" in the pdf file; meaning you won't be able to copy & paste it or use the search function to find something. The issue would probably go away entirely if you switched to a true type font for your drawing annotations.
