Melon_in_NY Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I have the old version and want to send a file to someone. My drawing looks great and works great but I don't have the new version. The on line reader doesn't seem to work? Can any one assist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Send it as a "PDF", I do it every time. Everyone has Adobe Reader, if not its free for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melon_in_NY Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi, My version doesn't allow me to save as a .pdf.... as it is an older version....works great for my purposes now .... I can export as ..dwg or .dxf..... etc...but the only 'save as' is called just a 'layout' file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Back then you had to print to pdf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melon_in_NY Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Well, I print to my HP 130 from 'Layout' and it works great! My problem is having someone else print/view remotely. They are going to download the trial version and see if they can see my layout files that way. They tried to open it in a photo viewer of some sorts but the "x-refed" files didnt make it to layout...just the annotations. We will see! Thanks for the time spent-appreciate it.

DRAWZILLA Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 you choose your PDF printer as your printer and hit print and a window will come up as to where you want to save it to. Save it,then you just send that file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 install a PDF Print Driver as Perry mentioned, I still use the one recommended by Chief back then, works great and adds nothing to your system like some others, you just get a short advertising window pop up for 20 secs or so when you save and it "prints" the PDF to your screen . http://www.pdf995.com/download.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDandD Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think I have an old "client viewer" cd floating around somewhere. But printing to a PDF will be very easy. I like Bullzip PDF printer. Free too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
