    Default 2007 DWG TO PDF - strange font substitution

    Whenever we try to use the DWG TO PDF in 2007, our Simplex shape font ends up looking different. Any idea why?

    When we use the Adobe PDF creator, the Simplex font looks the same as in a plot. But the Autodesk PDF creator seems to substitute some other font, similar to Simplex, but with gaps in letters - almost a stencil kind of look.

    It works fine here with simplex so I can't really see what you mean. Would it be possible to post your drawing so we can have a look?

    sorry to get off topic, but does the dwg to pdf in 2007 let you choose larger sheets such as 36x24 or 30x42. Those are inches for you metric folks. Thx Rich

    Hi,

    Have you tried the Custom paper sizes? You can enter your own paper size and you can also save it for future use.

    I'm not in 2007 yet, still in 2004. The reason for my question is I'm about to upgrade and at the same time purchase a pdf maker.

    You can always ask for a trial version of 2007. Then you can check out what the best solution suits you're company.
