How do I setup '1 click' PDF printing?

If you have an Adobe PDF printer installed in Windows, you can simply type in the printer name as appears in AutoCAD. Below is an example of the 'Adobe Acrobat Version 7.0 Professional' printer set in PerfectPlot.

Using Adobe PDF printer, you can specify where your prints are going to be created. This allows you to create PDF's to a specific location on your PC or network without having to specify a file name or location every time you make a PDF print. In the Windows control panel, you can access the printers AutoCAD uses by right clicking and selecting 'Properties' to customize the settings.

By Selecting the 'Printing Preferences' for the Adobe PDF printer, you can tab across to the 'Adobe PDF Settings' and Set the 'Adobe PDF OutPut Folder', 'View Adobe PDF results' and 'Ask to replace existing PDF file' as shown below. (NOTE the output folder will vary according to your system. Most other pdf printers have similar options for automatic file creation so the procedure will vary.)
