PDF Export and pen line weight

ptc-5503736 — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 02:48:15 GMT

Hello,

I need to export some drawings in PDF Format. However, if I use File -> Save a Copy and select PDF, the generated PDF doesn't take care of the pen line weight settings, so all pens have the same thickness. (Options -> penX_line_weight isn't taken care of)

Another option to export PDF is of course File -> Print with the Print Manager and a PDF Printer. Doing it that way, the line weight is correct in the PDF, but all fonts are non-stroke, so you can't select the text and the font looks really ugly.

Has anyone an idea to use the best of both PDF creating ways ?

I want in my pdf the correct line weight settings (Options -> penX_line_weight and selectable Text).

Best Regards,

Sven

Hello Sven and welcome to the forum.

I always export my PDF (file>save-as>export>PDF) and have a client-specific print config file and optinal simple pen table in the working folder. Here you can use stroked fonts.
