print schematics to pdf file

bid75

Hi,

I am using following .cdsplotinit file

Encapsulated PostScript|Encapsulated PostScript: \
        :manufacturer=Adobe: \
        :type=epsf: \
        :resolution#300: \
        :maximumPages#1: \
        :paperSize="5x5 inches" 1500 1500: \
        :paperSize="8x8 inches" 2400 2400: \
        :paperSize="Unlimited" 72000 72000:

However when I print the schematic view to pdf, the fonts of the annotated text are thick and unreadable. circuit symbols come out fine. 

Are there any standard settings to get out good quality schematic pdfs?

Thanks

Bhavin

    Hi Bhavin,

    Not sure why you're getting the text affected this way, but one possibility is to add:

    :residentFonts: \

    (whether you need the backslash depends on whether it's within the block or at the end of course). This will tell it to use courier font for text rather than drawing the text as lines. If you want control over the font, you could also use:

    :StickFont=/Helvetica: \

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    That didn't help. Adding following lines to .cdsplotinit helped to fix this problem. 

            :resolution#1000: \
            :paperSize="A" 8000 10500 250 250: \
            :paperSize="B" 10500 16500 250 250: \

    The following post helped.
