The correct color can now be plotted using old CTB plot styles and non-Autodesk PDF printer. How to use Adobe reader to get information about a PDF file. The correct preview of the Plot to PDF or DWG now displays in drawings.
So as long as we tell everyone to use version 9 of the reader or any full version of Acrobat, they can screen view the PDF files created with CutePDF just fine. Plot and Publish Improved publishing performance when plotting some Civil 3D drawings from the Sheet Set Manager. But if you have any version of the full Adobe Acrobat, (we tested versions 6, 7 and 8) the screen views also look fine. When you print it out it looks ok but visually on the screen it is almost unreadable unless you zoom in. The PDF files it creates look horrible in the Adobe reader compared to the 2007 version. If you are using any version older than Adobe Reader 9 your get the poor screen view symptom, version 9 however looks fine. Hi, We just upgraded from AutoCAD 2007 to 2011 and have a problem with the output of the default DWG to PDF plotter. After testing various cumputer systems in the office I discovered the following: I downloaded and switched to the CutePDF printer and everything was looking great until a salesman with an older version of the Adobe reader said that the screen views are looking just like the ones created with the DWG to PDF drivers. I also tried plotting only to A or B size files with no improvement. I have tried changing the line widths in the plot style settings but the resulting plots showed no difference. We plot our PDF to the same size sheet as the drawing, I.E.

I'll install my PDF995 along side my ACAD-2011 and post back here with the results. Its possible that with 2011, A-DESK realized PDF'ing was competing with their own broad-publishing file formats.
We've all (who used PDF) either used the free PDF'er that came with READER or a free-ware like PDF995 (I paid for the license, tho- their entire product line makes it worth it !) with great results. We have the full ADOBE Acrobat editor with our new AutoCAD, and I was looking for gread things ! When I found the ADOBE printer on my list, I thought I was using the Adobe driver. Below is the output with lines merge turned On in AutoCAD 2005-2010. I've used PDF995 with great results for years. Problems printing PDF files from Adobe Reader, Acrobat, and most Ghostscript based. My image quality using the ADOBE Printer is VERY GOOD, however, but I PDF to 11x17 sheet size, or 8-1/2x11 when appropriate. Can't imagine how it happenned, but no matter what I did, it just wouldn't correct. We just installed 2011, and I had to close and reopen the drawing file when the drawing orientation and the sheet orientation got crosswise.
