georgepf 0 Posted December 16, 2019 Let me preface this by saying I don't know how reasonable my request is. My situation is that I paid an architect to draft plans for a basement remodeling, he did the job, got paid, sent me a .plan and a .layout file, but nothing else - no printouts, no PDFs, nothing. He's been ghosting me for the past 3 weeks, and I'm stuck with files I can't use since I can only download the trial version of Chief Architect, which lets me view the plans but not export them to PDF. So, I humbly ask - would anyone be willing to export these files to PDF for me if I posted them here? Do I have any other options I'm not thinking of? Thanks!

The trial version of Chief should be able to be printed to a PDF at full size if using Adobe PDF or Nuance PDF or any other generic PDF Printer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeneDavis 72 Posted December 16, 2019 Zip the .layout file and attach it, and I or someone else will print to .pdf and then post the result. If it's under the size limit, it may attach without need for the zip. Try that, first. You won't get help from the ghoster, but you will from us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
