How do you save as a .PDF?

It is my first time plotting! I just got a call from the repro printer and he said my plans we completely out of scale. I need to plot schematic plans for a client in 24 hours! Can someone tell me what i need to do to plot these drawings so they print @ 1/4"

I am running AC 10 (EDU version) on a PC

PDF is available as printer driver, so You could also Print.
In next version (AC11) it will be available to Save as PDF.

although expensive, the best is to get a copy of Adobe Acrobat. The print driver included is much better than the Amyuni driver as far as I can tell. The file sizes come out much smaller. Plus, i've had many clients who couldn't open PDF's printed with Amyuni but they had no problems when printed with Adobe.

You should also know that it's illegal to use the EDU version for "clients". It's only permitted for school work.

It will have a huge watermark on the prints saying that it's an educational version.
