    Default Adobe PDF vs Acad PDF file size info.

    Just for an FYI on the AutoCAD PDF size.

    I ran a test last night using ADT 07 and Adobe 8.0 Pro

    The Adobe PDF from inside ADT was 77,890
    The ADT PDF from inside ADT that was scaled to fit was 510,991
    The ADT PDF from inside ADT that was scaled at 1:1 was 491,680 and cut off the margins.


    EDIT: the DWG file size is 170,080.

    It's pretty well known that the internal PDF drivers create bloated PDF files, but your info puts some real world numbers to it. Thanks.

    Have you seen THIS and THIS ?

    Ive found that PDF995 does not shrink the file size either.
    VS 995 you might as well use the supplied AutoCad printer.
