3 Print from AutoCAD
Introduction
HP ePrint & Share Plugin for AutoCAD is an extension (plug-in) for AutoCAD developed by HP to
facilitate the printing process from AutoCAD.
This plug-in enables you to quickly generate a print-ready document (in PDF format) of the current layout
by using a customer-defined preset, or one of the existing page setups defined in the drawing. Once
the PDF file is generated, HP ePrint & Share is launched and the PDF file is loaded for quick preview,
printing or sharing.
AutoCAD plug-in description
The plug-in enables you to print the current layout quickly:
●
By using a preset that you have defined
●
By using an AutoCAD Page Setup
A preset is a set of print settings that determine how the current layout should be printed. Presets are
managed by the plug-in, which provides a dialog box to select the print setting values that are applied
when the preset is used for printing. To print with a preset, the plug-in also provides some menus, and a
command-line command.
●
If the Adobe PDF driver that is shipped with Acrobat Professional is installed, the plug-in uses it to
create PDF files.
In this case, you may find that Adobe Reader is launched automatically to display each PDF file. If
you want to prevent this, go to the Plot dialog, select the Adobe PDF.pc3 printer, press the
Properties button, select Custom Properties in the settings tree, press the Custom
Properties button and uncheck the View Adobe PDF results checkbox.
●
If there is no Adobe PDF driver, the plug-in for AutoCAD 2007 to 2009 creates PLT files instead of
PDF files; the plug-in for later versions of AutoCAD uses the DWG to PDF driver to create PDF files.
If Acrobat Professional is installed in the PC, but the Adobe PDF.pc3 printer is not shown (only Adobe
PDF is available), then run the configuration by using this printer, and at the end, when AutoCAD asks
to save the configuration, select the option to save the changes to the suggested file.
Print with presets
A preset includes only the scale to apply to the drawing (including whether lines weights have to be
adjusted as well), and which CTB/STB has to be used. Hence, presets use very few of the available
AutoCAD print settings. The intent is that the print settings used by the plug-in are the most common
