Print to PDF

To share construction documents with other team members for printing and online viewing, you can save them to PDF (Portable Document Format).

   If the list does not include a PDF print driver, talk to your system administrator about installing one on your system.

3. Click Properties.
4. In the Properties dialog, define settings for the PDF print driver as desired, and click OK.
5. To print only the sheet or view in the drawing area:
   1. Under Print Range, select Current Window to print the entire view or sheet that currently displays in the drawing area, or select Visible Portion of Current Window to print the part of the view or sheet that currently displays in the drawing area.
   2. Under File, for Name, specify the name and location of the resulting PDF file. If needed, click Browse and navigate to the target folder.
