Allegro PDF

Lock2002
Lock2002 over 5 years ago

What are folks doing to create PDFs that include artwork (shapes and routes) with Allegro? Everything I tried results in a terrible quality pdf. "Export PDF" resulted in awesome pdfs, but since that went away I've been struggling. I do a lot of work with die attachment and I need a lot of detail. We are currently stuck with Nuance for a pdf tool. I do not have admin rights, so I don't have the luxury of downloading and trying out different tools. 
Is Cadence going to add the PDF export option back any time soon?

Thanks

    No extra license (PDF Publisher) needed?

    Correct. It's part of OrCAD Standard, Professional and Allegro PCB Designer Licenses. Just make sure you get the relevant hotfix then Export - PDF or File - Export PDF.
