A PDF, or Portable Document Format, file saves all of the printable information associated with a document such as a layout and makes it available for both viewing and printing without using the software originally used to create it. PDFs are easy to create and provide you with an efficient way to share your work with others or send documents to a print service.
In order to create a PDF, you must first have a PDF printer driver installed on your computer. Many options are available, including PDF995, which is available on the Chief Architect installation disk or by visiting www.pdf995.com.
Creating a PDF is a printing function, and the PDF driver installed on your computer should be treated like any other printer. Set up page size and orientation information in its Properties dialog and select your PDF writer as your printer in the Page Setup and Print dialogs. For more information, see "Printing to a PDF File".
