Lesson 2: Print to PDF

PDFs!!!

PDFs are everywhere! From the moment you launch a word document to reading a book online, PDFs are used in most content, topics, and professions across the globe. In fact, you can get away a PDF because most companies have their documents, manuals, guidelines, presentations, etc converted to a PDF for easy viewing and downloading. So how is it used in architecture?
It's used from the very beginning of design (design conception) to the very end of final production. In this lesson, we will be creating PDFs from AutoCAD Architecture so that you can use the PDF in other programs to Print, adjust line-weights, colors, graphics, and presentation boards. This first lesson merely explores the CREATION of PDFs from AutoCAD Architecture.
