An architect created this 24x36 .pdf and made 1 good plot before his belt broke.
I'm trying to plot it for him using Adobe Reader 10.1.8 to a HP 430.
It cuts off the bottom 1 1/2 inches and about 3 inches on one end. I think I've tried everything.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like it could be a couple of things:

- You may have something set to plat at more than 100%

- or your "plotable area" might not be big enough for his plot. Try "plot to fit" in the "plotable area" - but this may throw your scale off.

If you have a new enough version of Autocad you can bring the file into a cad file (PDFIN), then scale the image to the right units and then try printing a window. Its a little convoluted but I had to do this for some files in the past.

Thanks Dave and Dan, but I gave up. My architect friend will do something else.

my ACAD LDD is too old to do PDFIN. I gust got new Carlson and am just starting to learn it, but it is Intelecad, maybe a mistake.
