Save As.
Select Adobe
Portable Document format (*.pdf) in Save
as type.
Click Options.
Select options as described below, then click
OK.
Export PDF in color.
Embed fonts. The font definitions
become part of the document, which increases file size but guarantees
that the fonts are as defined in the original document.
High quality lines. For drawings
only. Vectored lines are drawn double precision for best quality. Increases
file size and time to save file.
Shaded/Draft geometry DPI. For
drawings only. Controls dots per inch setting. An increased value improves
quality while increasing file size and time to save file.
High quality shaded edges. For
drawings only. The edges of shaded views are drawn with vectors instead
of being raster-drawn. Increases time to save file.
Print header/footer. Uses the
header and footer specified in File,
Print, Header/Footer.
Use specified printer line weights
(File, Print, Line
Weights). When cleared, the default printer line weights are
used.
