How do I have silkscreen appear when I print PCB layouts to PDF?

Was curios as to how people get their PCBs to look like this during a screenshot, took this from someone on reddit:

When I export my PCB as a PDF I can’t see any of the silkscreen even when I have the layer enabled.
PCB.pdf (112.7 KB)

Here’s the settings I have enabled:

Curious as to what people use since I’ve tried using the snipping tool but it always looks blurry.

set the silkscreen-layer as active layer before executing the File–>Print-command.
And disable the bottom copper layer.

That seems to work, thanks!

You don’t believe the evidence of your eyes? :wink:

Looks a bit different than what I expected, probably because the person on reddit screenshotted theirs I’m assuming but yeah :+1:

Maybe some sort of AI hiding in your computer has subversively photo shopped your results? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
