How can I convert older Microstation plt files to pdf? These plt file types were created when Microstation did not have the capablity of creating pdf files.
Any ideas on how to create these files today?
Roland,
What format are the files that you want to convert?

I read your question again and need some clarification. Are you asking about converting printer driver files to the current pltcfg files or converting a file like a raster format, i.e. TIF to PDF?
Plt file type to Pdf files.
MS converted dgn files to a plt file. The plt file can then be sent directly to any plotter to be printed. This was done in V7 or V8 2004 edition time frame.
This is not a plot configuration file but, a plot file that can be sent to a plotter.

What format is the plot file? HPGL, a Raster format, or something else? I would have to know the plot file format before I can answer your question.
Thanks!
This a plotter file type. Years ago this file type was sent to the plotter from Microstation. I do not know if it is a HPGL or what microstation plot config file was used to create the plt file.
Again, this is how Microstation created files plot files prior to creating pdf files that we create today. The plt file type was sent to contractors and they could print them or send them to a print vendor to print the file. Any plotter could print the plt file type created from Microstation at that time.
I may resort to printing the plt files and rescanning them to pdf.
