Export to pdf

[jdfriedrick]

Just had WF4 installed and export Pro/E drawingsto pdf has changed. Fonts are in BOLD (sometimes), line thickness has changed to bold. How do you change the exportation properties?

I'm running WF3. The best way to create aPDF from a drawing seems to be:


Savea Copy


select PDF as the format


select 'Stroke All Fonts' and 'Monochrome'


This results in WYSIWYG output, in black and white.

The PDF file runs off your .pnt file. Try changing the line thickness and see what you get. Here is a copy of mine for you to try. 2010-07-15_075609_pen.zip

Check the Pro/E Knowledge Base. There were some builds of Pro/E in WF4 and WF5 that had an issue with PDF export. This same thing happened to us. Changing to another build solved the issue.


Builds with issues:


WF4 M120


WF5 M020
