I have just created a file in ViaCAD Pro. V6, now I would like to convert it to a PDF so anyone without a CAD program will be able to look at it.
Is there an easy way to convert the file to a PDF?
I know that I can export each drawing as a BMP or JPG and then convert it to a PDF but it gets a little distorted.

Hi Richard


Are you using Mac or pc?


Set everything up and print the file to pdf. If on pc you can download a free print driver like cutepdf or pdfcreator. Once installed you can choose the pdf driver as the printer. The mac has built in pdf capability.

Jason Thanks;
The file converted over perfect.
I already had Nitro PDF Pro. on my computer. This is the first time I know what that print driver was for.

Thanks,

Richard

Install a PDF creator such as 995 and use it as a printer and the program will put out a PDF file. ViaCad 7 comes with "PDF Creator". It installed automatically with one prompt during the installation process of ViaCad 7.
Best to you.
