By default, DWF files are produced with a vector grid of 1200 dots per inch (DPI), which means the files have roughly the same precision and security as paper.
To prepare a map for publishing to DWF
- Display and set up the layout you plan to use for your publishing job.
- Choose any attributes to include with the published DWF.
- Save the map.
- Click
Publish. - In the Publish dialog box, do any of the following:
- For each item in the Sheets to Publish list, click in the Page Setup/3D DWF field and choose or import a layout from the drop-down list. Make sure the Status column shows no errors. To exclude a sheet from the publish operation, right-click it and choose Remove.
- To specify publishing options, click Publish Options.
To specify the attributes or object data to publish with this map, scroll down to Map Options and click in the field. To use your DWF Publishing settings, this field must be set to “Include.” To view or change the settings, click the button labeled “...” Make sure that the Publish Map Information box in the DWF Publishing Options dialog box is checked. Otherwise, the coordinate system is not included in the publish operation.
To publish each display layer in your map to a separate layer in the DWF, click in the Layer Information field under DWF Data Options and change it to Include. Design Review can display each resulting layer independently. Each DWF layer has the same name as its Display Manager layer, but if multiple layers share the same name, the DWF layer will have _1 appended to the first duplicate name, _2 to the second, and so on.
- Click the DWF file option under Publish To.
- Change any other publishing options as desired.
