Hi, I have a problem. I had made a PCB circuit schematics with Altium Designer, and I don't have a laser printer at home, and I have to go to another computer that it hasn't installed altium designer.

I know the smart pdf option but this option doesn't scale the schemathics at 1:1.

How can I save the printed PDF version scaled in that way that can be recognized from an computer without altium instaled?

 

Hello,

Can you print the files to any printer?
If so try Doro PDF Writer.

It install acts as a printer, but it saves the outout to a PDF.

Once you have a PDF file you can print it with Gimp, or use Gimp to covert it to a .gif file (this is what I do).

PDFCreator will add printer drivers that allow you to print out to a PDF file instead of a printer. It is the same kind of utility as what Bertus recommended.

 

which altium designer version do you use?

Thank you, it solved my problem. The output PDF respects the real dimensions and can be scaled. Very useful and portable.
And thank you all for your attention.
