    Default Plotting to pdf in windows 7

    What are most of you doing to get around not being able to plot to pdf in Windows 7? My first inclination is downloading cute pdf unless someone has a better solution.
    Thank You

    I'm on Cute PDF. Works ok. I was forced into learning it since the Adobe Acrobat Pro version I had doesn't work on W7.... Urgh.

    I find cute pdf has a lot of printing errors and batch plotting is horrible. PDFCreator is much better and free as well.

    We use PDFCreator. *However,* the latest version (1.5.1) of the program seems to want to install numerous advertising toolbars, so we had to stop updating it after version 1.1.0. As a side note, since so many people were complaining about the annoying toolbar installation of the latest version, I notice that the site that distributes PDFCreator has deactivated the ability to post reviews. Too bad...

    Have you ever tried doPDF 7.0. This is a good alternative without any hitch.
    HTH.

    I've also *just* installed Bluebeam CAD--It outputs both 2D AND 3D views from Revit. My first test looked just fine.
