export pdf with gray scale output
export pdf with gray scale output
i'm working on a project, which need to export dwg drawing to pdf file in "gray scale" color. is there any way to do this, using example based on odamfcapp (or any other way thai work!!!!).
thanks in advance for any helps.
hi,
mfcapp - i have tested it with 2.3.0.
- load drawing
- call page setup dialog
- set printer\paper\extents\center the plot\fit2paper
- select grayscale.ctb in plot style table list.
- press ok
- vectorize drawing
- click on prevew button (all should be in gray), close preview
- call export to pdf dialog, click export button
generated pdf will be in gray.

sorry. in my odamfcapp sample i can not select grayscale.ctb file, there are no file to select from... where should i place the file grayscale.ctb.. so the sample can detect the file.. and i can select it from the plotstyle combo box.
thanks. :-)
hi,
you should change codamfcappapp::findfile to find *.ctb files. by default it uses autocad settings information from registry.
second moment, you should verify that ddplotstylepaths system variable was init to *.ctb folder
( void codamfcappapp::initplotstylesheetenv() )

hey !!! i can finally export grayscale pdf !!! thank you very much !!!!
always welcome
pdf export gray scale
alexander,
if the
autocad grayscale.ctb is not available, is there anyway to create one?
if not, is there another way to force grayscale output on pdf export
just copy it from somewhere... or insert file to your application resources... also mfcapp has plotstyles reading\changing functionality.
