Save the Drawings of a Project as a PDF File

You can save the drawings of the active project as a PDF file. The drawings to be saved are defined in the PDF output settings, where various drawing sets have been created of the project's drawings. Each drawing set is saved in a PDF file of its own. Following drawing sets are included in the basic software delivery:

The drawings included in each set are defined in the output settings.

Create a PDF file of the project's drawings as follows:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Select File > Other Print Functions > Print PDF Sets from the menu bar.
   • Select Print > Print PDF Sets from the toolbar.
2. Select the drawing set from a list.

The program saves the PDF file in the project's Pdf folder with the selected drawing set name, for example STRUCTURAL.pdf. If the viewer program Acrobat Reader is installed in your system, Vertex starts the program and opens the PDF file in it.

When the PDF file is created, the program checks the suitable sheet size for each drawing. The first sheet on the following list on which the drawing fits, is selected:

• A4 Portrait
• A4 Landscape
• A3 Portrait
• A3 Landscape
• A2 Portrait
• A2 Landscape
• A1 Portrait
• A1 Landscape
• A0 Portrait
• A0 Landscape

Note

• You can save the Vertex drawings located in a folder and sub folders under it as a structured PDF book, see Print a Structured PDF Book.
• You can easily save a single model or drawing open in the working window as a PDF file, see Save a Single Document as a PDF File.
