Hello All,

I am using SW2005 and when I save my drawings as pdfs the title block line weights are very thick. I changed them to thin with no luck. It prints from SW fine. Also, when I print as pdf it does not give me the pdf extension but .prn. any ideas?

I have created the title block as a block in my drawing template. Don't know if this affects it.

Thanks.

The .prn extension signifies that it is a printer text file, not a PDF.

Are doing a Save as... and selecting Adobe Portable Document Format (*.pdf) as the Save as type? ... or are you printing to a PDF printer?

PDF995 from and CutePDF Writer from are good.

[cheers]
 
What service pack are you on? This was corrected with a later service pack if I remember correctly. We saw this on drawings without views (purchasing drawings with text only). Inserting a blank drawing view solved the problem.
