Saving AutoCAD layer conversion settings
You can name a PDF settings configuration only after you have added at least one
AutoCAD layer from the Layers In Drawing list to the Layers In PDF list. Until then, the
Add PDF Setting button is unavailable.
Any settings you have created previously are available in the PDF Layer Settings menu.
You can reuse these settings, or edit and rename them at any time.
To name and save a PDF setting:
1. In AutoCAD, start to convert an AutoCAD file to an Adobe PDF file. (See Converting
Autodesk AutoCAD files (Windows).) In the last step, select the Retain All Or Some
Layers option.
2. In the Acrobat PDFMaker dialog box, click Add PDF Settings, and do one of the
following:
● To create a new setting, enter its name in the New Layer Setting Name box.
● To rename a PDF setting, select the name and click Rename.
● To delete a PDF setting, select the name and click Remove.
3. Click OK to return to the Acrobat PDFMaker (Convert To Adobe PDF) dialog box.
Note: PDF settings are stored in the AutoCAD file; therefore, you must save the
AutoCAD file after the PDF file is created in order to save the PDF settings.
