Administrator JuanP Posted October 28, 2019 Administrator Share Posted October 28, 2019 Depending on the Vectorworks version and if you are using Mac or Win, you will be able to click on File>export or Save as PDF. Quote Link to comment
josue Corona Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have spotlight , and Mac. I do use save as a pdf, but lets say I save it as a PDF, it goes into a folder then I have to go to my email and drag the file into my email. I want to try to email it without dragging it. Like if theres a way to make it like save as PDF and email at the same time ? Quote Link to comment

AlanW Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 @josue Corona Hi if you cant find it you will probably need to hit the customise tab and pull the export PDF over to your menue. HTH Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 The Email PDF is a function of the Mac operating system and printer drivers. It gives different results than the VW Export to PDF menu command. I believe that Export to PDF creates a vector based PDF that includes all of the layer information and can be manipulated in other programs. The Print to PDF (Email PDF) option creates a flattened PDF. This is fine if all you need is for the recipient to be able to view/print the file. It is not so good if they need to do more with it.

AlanW Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 When you export a PDF you have the option to rasterize the pdf which converts it to a Bitmap which avoids the problem of converting it back to lines by using other programs, Quote Link to comment
