    Background

    An alternative to using Project Publisher to create PDF files is to use the platform's printing features. This is useful if the ability to Navigate on published PDF files is not required. Since the processing required for creating the navigation is not required, printing to PDF is typically faster. There may also be additional settings available in the printing feature not available in Project Publisher.

    Steps To Accomplish

    2. In Project Manager, select Print to PDF. This will send the DGN files for the pages to Print Organizer.

    3. Right-click a DGN file in Print Organizer and select Properties.
      Note that multiple DGN files can be selected, the selection set right-clicked, and Properties selected. This will make any changes to the Properties affect all the DGN files in the selection set.

    4. Set the settings as desired, then click OK. Some settings of interest:
      On the Main tab, select the desired paper size. Then click the Maximize button to fit the drawing to the paper size. The Maximize button looks like a cross-hair.
      On the Advanced tab, set Color to "Monochrome" if desired.
