Print in landscape mode - is it possible?

Hi, I'm programming in VBA (AutoCAD) and would like to know how I can generate my PDFs in landscape vs. portrait layout. This is possible when plotting manually using the driver. However, when using an automated interface, the output is always in portrait mode. I've seen several other posts about th...

It is acad.exe

Hi Jacob, I have checked and the process that is consuming the CPU is AutoCAD (acad.exe). If I stop that process the machine returns to normal. Also I don't know if I mentioned this but the problem only happens on one machine I've tried which is at a client site. Other machines (mine for example) wo...

Hello, Well, I'm bypassing the PDF printer dialog altogether since the intention is to have a totally hands-off automated system. I think that the longest wait is during the period after AutoCAD has spooled to the PDF printer, and the red PDF printer icon in the system tray is visible. At this point...

This only happens on one machine. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I might look for to get this fixe...

Both are set to defaults

Hi Jacob, Thanks for your response. Neither the "good" nor the "bad" has had any significant change made from default settings (except portrait/landscape rotation). The only possible differences are in the operating environments between the two machines, I just don't know what to look for. What coul...

Automated printing from AutoCAD problem

Hi, I am trying to plot from AutoCAD using the Bullzip driver under full control of a VBA macro (no dialogs). On one machine it works fine, on another it is extremely slow (~2 minutes to generate a PDF.) While it's working, the red circle in the system tray is visible. Plotting manually works fine, ...
