Can I create a "tiff" file from (1) a dwg file,(2) a paper space view
(OP)
Am having trouble creating a readable archive file (tiff or bmp) from a dwg file or a paper space view. Given the plan and profile document created in paper space by LDD (Softdesk Civil, when I create the tiff file the lettering is lost as it is zoomed. The bmp file does the same thing but will only convert the items in paper space to the bmp file.

Depending upon your intended use of the resulting .tif files, you may need to to crop them, because AutoCAD saves the whole screen image, not just the selected objects. I use a graphic editing program such as Paint Shop Pro by Jasc Software to crop the .tif files. A number of other graphics editing programs can be used as well for this purpose.

Now using a some freeware program (check www.freewarehome.com ) resize and convert is ad you wish.
If you could spend some money (www.jasc.com) PaintShopPro is a good choice...
Good luck.

I have tried out Spicers Imagenation software
http://www.spicer.com/
and it does an excellent job of converting to tiffs. Another option is to use WMF files. Another excellent program is BetterWMF at

A neat thing about WMF's is that they can be brought back in to ACAD as ACAD entities (not to scale, but as plines).

You can even try it out first with 5 free files.
Hope this helps.

There are a number of PDF conversion programs out there- one is at www.pdf995.com
(no affiliation- I just used it for a while)
I went ahead and spent the money for Acrobat, 'cause the cheapies generally don't do cropping, etc, etc.
good luck, have fun!
