Hello,
DWG to PDF conversion is performed in two steps:
1) Reading the DWG file to a
CADImage object.
Code: Select all
using CADImport;
...
string filePath = @"C:\test.dwg";
CADImage cadImage = CADImage.CreateImageByExtension(filePath);
cadImage.LoadFromFile(filePath);
cadImage.IsWithoutMargins = true;
2) Saving the
CADImage object to a PDF file using a
CADToPDF class.
Code: Select all
using CADImport.Export;
using System.IO;
...
CADToPDF pdfExporter = new CADToPDF(cadImage);
pdfExporter.Settings.LayoutsExportMode = LayoutsExportOption.All;
pdfExporter.Settings.DrawMode = CADDrawMode.Normal;
pdfExporter.Settings.IsShowLineWeight = true;
pdfExporter.Settings.LineWeightScale = 0;
pdfExporter.Settings.PageHeight = 17 * 25.4; // 17 inches converted to mm
pdfExporter.Settings.PageWidth = 11 * 25.4; // 11 inches converted to mm
pdfExporter.SaveToFile(Path.ChangeExtension(filePath, ".pdf"));

Hello,
To produce a PDF with black background, add the following line to the PDF export routine:
Code: Select all
pdfExporter.Settings.BackgroundColor = Color.Black.ToArgb();
As for the problem with a blank page, please send us the .dwg and .pdf files for investigation.
