autocad to pdf in all black lines 1

[97EOs]

My autocad drawing has many colored lines and I want it to convert to autocad built-in PDF with all black lines. How do you do it? Please share step by step how to do this output to pdf in all black line thing (from colored lines). Thanks.

I'm assuming you are able to plot to PDF in color already and only want to change the plot to black lines. More instruction is needed if you are unable to plot at all.
Plot using "monochrome" plot style instead of "none" (also called a ".ctb" file). That should set all lines to solid black.

and check the box (Bricscad) to tell the program to use plot styles...

In you ACAD drawing do the following:
File > either Page Set Up or Plot > Plot device folder > Plotter Configuration: select CutePDF Writer > Plot Style Table: select acad.ctb and Edit > Plot Style table Editor : from property window select black > save and close > Plot Dialog Box > Plot Setting folder: do full preview to double on black color of drawing > OK > drawing will automatically be saved in PDF format in black color. Note you must load CutePDF Writer in ACAD; CutePDFWriter is free of charge from internet.

Select DWG to PDF.PC3 when plotting. The easy way to see your line weights if you print by color, is to draw one line per color. Label the colors and then plot a small piece of paper to remind you.
