    PDF generate with landscape rotation AutoCAD

    fidojim

      I have been trying to find solution.  Perhaps some one can help via this forum.

       

      Using Acrobat X Pro on Windows 7.     I am trying to use the Adobe PDF windows printer to print from AutoCAD 2012.    I am successful generating output using Standard joboptions.   Here is the issue.

       

      When I print a Arch D size sheet.   I am not able to control the rotation.   PDF comes out rotate 90 ccw.    I have tried to address in the job file settings by turning off rotation,    I have tried switching to different pdf types.

       

      I have tried creating a sheet size that reverses the dimensions.   "Arch D" is listed with size 24x36.   I created a sheet, "Arch D 36x24" with dimension 36" wide and 24" high.    The preview inside AutoCAD show all is well.    Best I can do is get the drawing rotated 90 ccw when it opens to view in Acrobat.

       

      Yes, I know I can rotate and save the sheet in Acrobat to get it turned.   Not the solution I need.

       

      We can not use the AutoDesk DWGtoPDF.pc3 file as it doesn't produce line work and text that are acceptable.    We are switching back to using Acrobate but must not have people turning their heads to view on the screen.
