\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Several Options are presented.\u00a0 First by showing you the standards.\u00a0 You can add a password, overwrite precision,etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. If you want to change an Option, just click on the option and a drop down will appear.\u00a0 No dropdown?\u00a0 then it cannot be changed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. You can add a plot stamp if you like also.\u00a0 Some of the presets available are shown below.\u00a0 Check the ones you want to add.\u00a0 This is the exact same dialog box as plot stamping in the Plot command.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Notes fromthe Help file:<\/p>\n

Although transparent objects and wipeouts are displayed correctly in the PDF viewer, they may not print with the same visual fidelity when default print settings are used. If your drawing contains transparent objects, you may need to adjust some settings in Adobe Acrobat. Set Transparency Flattening to “Print as Image” or reduce the Raster\/Vector Balance in Adobe Acrobat.<\/p>\n
