Thanks all in advance.

My drawings are becoming heavy with details to where the plan set PDF is to large for AOL

to send to clients. Off site printing upload is fine. I guess that I need to compress somehow.

Any thoughts?

Dropbox or google drive?

Also, do you adjust your Pdfs to 300 dpi instead of 600?

[Keith Almond]

I suggest that you send via WETRANSFER ... www.wetransfer,com ... The files are uploaded to WeTransfer servers, and the client is given a link to download them. Once they are downloaded, you are notified as such. You can transfer up to 2GB free. In my opinion it works a lot slicker than anything else I've come across.

 

 

Check it out and make up your own mind.

Yvon-do you know if there is a way in Softplan to save the 300 dpi as standard? 

[Keith Almond]

I'm going to jump in here and say "No there isn't" but I've been wrong before ... as you know.

[Yvon Gonthier]

Not that I know either (your safe this time Keith  ) but it has been a question and suggestion that we should be able to define items such as this.

That would be a nice thing for system options.  Same with exporting to autocad.   My main engineer is still using acad 2000...he sees no reason to upgrade...and inevitably, once a month or so he has to remind me to export to the correct version on one or two sheets because I get going too fast and forget to save to the correct format!!!

I do apologize for the delay in responding to the great ideas listed.

I'll begin with the 300 dpi, but follow up with the others.

Thanks again for the help.

Good morning.

 

Want to thank all for their insight on my question.

The 300 dpi has worked so far. Thanks Yvon.
