What is a good program to convert an 18x24 dwg to an 18x24 pdf file??ÿ Microsoft Print to pdf doesn't support that sheet size.

Thanks

Norman is correct. In case you're new to this: You do this using "virtual" plotters. Instead of going to a physical printer and printing to paper you "print" to PDF. Most PDF plotters have various paper sizes available. The one Norman mentions is my 'go-to' for AutoCAD to PDF (there's apparently better options but it's proved the most consistent and trouble-free). I use a program called Rhino3D and within that program I either use the PDF virtual plotters included with the PDF specific programs currently installed on my PC (BlueBeam and one called PDF-X-Change).

If you need any more information don't hesitate to ask. "Virtual" printers confused the heck out of me at first.

If you have an older version of AutoCAD with Land Desktop, that does not convert drawing files to PDF format, there is a free download from Autodesk called DWG TrueView that does the conversion.
