CADzation AcroPlot Pro v2011.05.25 (Repost)

AcroPlot Pro™ is the next generation in digital CAD conversion software. With the capability to convert an extensive list of file formats to PDF, DWF, and images AcroPlot Pro will serve as a nexus for CAD Professionals everywhere.

Works With or Without AutoCAD!

AutoCAD Lines Merge Supported - Need we say more!
AcroPlot Pro is the first batch conversion program to support the lines merge option from CAD programs. With the lines merge there is no more worries about the draworder to get a PDF that looks and prints just like your normal output to the plotter.

• Includes a full version of the PDF Printer Driver to create PDF files from any application.
• Converts all major office, various CAD, and graphics formats.
• Create single or multi-paged PDF and DWF files.
• Merge existing DWF files into one multi-paged DWF 6 files.
• Full support for AutoCAD 14 and newer. Also supports all vertical applications including ADT, MDT, LDDT, and Map.
• Powerful built-in viewer allows users to create and convert without AutoCAD installed!
• Convert legacy PLT, TIFF, CALS, and GP4 files to either DWF or PDF.
• Automatic rotation of PLT and graphics files ensures the proper orientation every time.
• Built-in engineering paper sizes and complete customizable paper sizes insures that output can meet any standard or requirement.
• Includes the AcroPlot Jr. program also for conversion from inside of AutoCAD.

Input Formats Supported in Batch Mode

• DWG, DXF - AutoCAD up to 2012. AcroPlot converts all AutoCAD formats even if you do not have AutoCAD installed by using our own internal viewer. The viewer does an excellent job, supports ctb files, lineweights, most image formats, OLE embedded objects, and most ADT 2007 and 2012 custom objects.
• DWF - Autodesk's Design Web Format (Version 4.2, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0)
• DOC, XLS, DOCx, XLSx, TXT, RTF - Word, Excel, and text formats
• BMP, CALS, JPG, GIF, GP4, TIFF - Image formats.
• PLT - HPGL, HPGL/2, and most HPGL-RTF plotter files.
• PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format
• Inventor, Solidworks, Microstation, and all other Windows Applications are supported in manual mode through the PDF Printer Driver that is included with AcroPlot Pro. You can then select the PDF files that you have previously created to merge with the PDF files you are batch converting through AcroPlot Pro.

Output Formats Supported

• PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format
• DWF - Autodesk's Design Web Format Version 6.0
• DOC, XLS, TXT, RTF - Word, Excel, and text formats
• BMP, CALS, JPG, GIF, GP4, TIFF - Image formats.

System Requirements

• No AutoCAD application is required to run AcroPlot Pro! But if you do have AutoCAD 2000-2012 or one of the vertical applications installed it will use AutoCAD to plot which results in higher quality and smaller PDF files.
• Fully supported on Server 2003, XP(32 and 64 bit), Vista(32 and 64 bit), and Windows 7(32 and 64 bit).
• You should also have the latest updates and service packs installed.
• 160 MB of free disk space on the C: drive.
• 512 MB of RAM minimum. (1 GB or higher recommended.)
• Pentium 1 GHz or better processor minimum. (Pentium 1.8 GHz or higher recommended.)
• 1024 x 768 with video display or higher.
• Permission to add and modify system printers. If you do have this ability then please have your System Administrator install the program.

1. First we can select the output filename and which drawings and layouts we would like to plot.


2. Next we can select the various options such as the resolution, PDF format, and plot color to override the AutoCAD colors. We can even add a watermark, and set the PDF document summary and security settings.


3. From the AutoCAD Options Tab we can control all of the variables for the AutoCAD Plot Dialog as well as the lines merge settings. We can either user what values are saved in the drawing or we can set our own values.


4. AcroPlot Pro also has advanced options for converting other file types like images and PLT files where we can always rotate them to landscape or even downsample images to make the PDF or DWF file smaller.


5. We can create complex bookmarks by extracting either the drawing properties or even titleblock attributes from the drawing.


6. Now we let the program do the work for us. It can even open the new file in Acrobat Reader if you have it installed.
