Printing, just printing PCB layouts

2002-02-26 by caveteursus

I was wondering if anyone had a better way of "printing" PCB outlines 
for reproduction.

I use Ultiboard as my design, routing program.  It allows saving the 
document to Adobe through Distiller.  When I open the document (in 
Acrobat) and magnify it, however, it looks as if the doc has been 
saved as a somewhat rough bit-mapped file.  If I just print the 
diagram to my laserjet, everything looks great.

For now, I have been fixing up the jaggies in a drawing program.  
Time consuming.

Anyone have a better way -- scanning in hi-res produces too big a 
file btw.
