Yesterday I enjoyed a fabulous time with many educators in the Netherlands. I shared a glimpse into some future technology trends, made recommendations regarding where they should lead their students and, of course, thanked them for all the hard work they put into training the architects, designers, and engineers of tomorrow. Having taught in the collegiate system myself (many years ago) I can appreciate all the hard work that goes into being a teacher. I really enjoyed sharing with them the new features in AutoCAD 2008 and Inventor - everyone was so appreciative! All in all I think it was a very successful Education conference (thank you Denelise!).
Emlyn, an acquaintance of mine, was kind enough to offer up one more great suggestion to keep the size of your PDF files down.
Another AutoCAD Hip Tip on creating Small PDF files:
Be sure to lower the resolution of the PDF generator from 1200 down to 300 (or even 144 if you are working with a simple AutoCAD file). this will dramatically reduce the size of your PDF file (thank you Emlyn!)
You can also reduce the size of the finished file by configuring the PDF resolution in AutoCAD as seen below (Custom Properties under graphics).
Enjoy your weekend! I'm hoping to see some tulips...
