I love the "convert to pdf" icon in AutoCAD with Acrobat 8 Professional, but have not been able to figure out how to make acad pen settings apply to the pdf's created this way. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I use the convert to pdf and it appears to use whatever pen settings I have set for each layout. Do have the pen settings you want set for each layout? Also, I'm not sure this makes a difference, but all my layouts have pdf set as the plotter.

I do have another problem - anything that is a block such as architectural desktop walls, etc. prints in color. Strangely, if I insert a spreadsheet, the conversion to pdf takes much much longer but everything prints properly in black and white.

Anyone have any ideas what thats about??
