*cough* bittorrent *cough*

I've never had much (any) success with bittorrent. Maybe I'm just not that savvy. Either I can't find what I'm looking for, or the file I download is corrupted.

Hell, even the pdf writer I just downloaded off the proper commercial website was corrupt.

The other thing is that I don't have p2p software on my laptop, and I won't install any. I guess I should fire up the spare computer and see how that goes. After watching downloaded software kill my old desktop, I'm leery. But I needed a new computer anyway.

We use pdf995 at the office. Pretty sucky and you STILL won't be able to create a multipage pdf with it, you need full on acrobat to do that. Plus chances are the print shop will still charge you some how even though its a multipage pdf. I tried that once and they said it just crashed their computer, etc, etc.

I'm with FOG, pdf995 @ the office. pretty sucky.

mac @ home. no problem. :)

cutePDF writer - or bittorrent -
-i dont think that you can create multiple file PDF's w/ the cute PDF(not sure)

acrobat

but you need this first utorrent

Ive never had a problem w/ any of the programs ive downloaded from here........knock on wood!

I have cute pdf and love it
Basically it acts like an installed printer. You chose it as an print option. Creates a pdf version and it goes right into whatever folder you designate Great of sending to clients for review.

CutePDF is great.

multi pages ability?

cute writer and has ghost writer.....

you are game after u get that

CutePDF. Agreed. Yes it has multi page ability.

Yea, I was going to say ghostwriter, but I haven't used it in a long time.

deskPDF

can merge and reorder files created. Use PDF Creator of CutePDF to create individual files.

I've tried several pdf writers and even with cutepdf I get documents where the written carachters have a bad resolution and the solid hatches have all lines drawn on top of them.
I thought it might have been an Autocad 2005 problem but I tried with the 2007 version as well and I get the same results?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Akin

CutePDF for creating the PDF's, and PDF ReDirect for binding. CutePDF is really good. PDF redirect is pretty basic but gets the job done.

Akin, you might want to check your settings in CutePDF as to how vectors and lines are treated, resolution etc. Also, your CTB file, and maybe your scaling settings. I print CutePDF from Autocad 2005 and 2006 and have never had a problem.

There are also a number of ways of using CutePDF. For example for presentaitions, I can create images in photoshop, insert into a power point presentation and then print from there to get a PDF. Because it is a printer, and multi-page document type will get you a multi-page PDF.

CutePDF

that's how I used to do it too - insert my stuff into powerpoint and then print with pdf995 to get multi page pdf. kind of low tech but it works.

Hello all, thanks a lot for the tips unfortunately I didn't manage to sort it out.
I'm starting to think it might depend of the autocad version which has ambiguous origins.
Happy 2008 to you all!
