Sending drawings per email in PDF format

By Christoph Eckert on July 8, 2005 12:17 PM |

Sometimes it is useful to send a drawing via email to a customer, partner or an interiorCAD developer. interiorCAD / VectorWorks cannot do so per default, but on Windows it is possible to install a system wide PDF printer driver which then also is available for any other application.

There are several solutions out in the web, but we'd like to recommend the cutePDF Writer. Unlike others, it's not shareware but freeware and it doesn't hurt by including advertising banners into the PDF.

  1. Before installing the cutePDF Writer you need to install Ghostscript. Get this open source library as a Win32 installer from Sourceforge
  2. Then install the cutePDF Writer

The cutePDF Writer will now appear in the printing dialog of any application.
