Plotting 26″x18″ PDF Files in Autocad
I am a surveyor in California and our recorded maps are required to be 18″X26″. The black ‘box border’ is 16×24 with a 1″ blank border. For some years the plan checkers have asked for submittal with PDF files during the plan check process. But the rules about exact sheet size etc. were only applied to the final mylar, not the PDF. Now the PDF file is being taken as a formal submittal itself and it has to be exact. So if you have a dimension of 100′ on the map it has to list out exactly 100′ when they look at the PDF file on their computer. And the one inch border has to be exactly one inch. Of course 18×26 is an odd size and it does not seem to be supported by any PDF converter, or printer, working in AutoCad that I know of. Does anyone know of a way to plot to a PDF sheet size of 18″x26″ in Autocad (or Intellicad)? Any help would be appreciated.
