AutoCAD to PDF using Acrobat 6.0 Pro

Got an A-Size drawing done in paper space. I have a pc3 assigned for A-Size
drawings to this file. Plots fine on the laser

When i try to create a PDF, the file that is made has the correct
orientation (landscape), but the drawing geometry is position vertically and
runs off the "paper". I swear i have tried every setting. Missing something.
Any clue? Thanks

 

I just wrote an article for Inside AutoCAD on creating PDF's using
Acrobat and I covered this issue because I had the same problem as you.

There's a portrait/landscape setting in the AutoCAD dialog. There's also
one in the properties for the Acrobat driver. If you are using a PC3
file, click the "Properties" button to go to the PC3 Editor for that PC3
file. These are AutoCAD's properties for that driver. Now go to the
"Custom Settings" section which gives you the properties for Adobe's
driver settings. There's a Landscape/Portrait setting in there as well.

To get a proper orientation, you need to you the proper combination of
those two settings. I don't recall the proper settings right off the top
of my head but there's only 4 possible combinations. One of them will
give you what you are looking for.

I'll have to go back and check my process what I get a chance. I don't
do this a lot so I don't exactly recall a lot of specifics. I though I
had it nailed with what I already told you but apparently there's
something I forgot.
