Save as PDF drwing sheet control.
(OP)
Hi all,
Is there a way using "Save as PDF" to control which of the drawing sheets are converted. We use a second sheet on a drawing for our sheet metal flat patterns. When we create the PDF we do not want this sheet of the drawing included in the PDF.
Thanks for the help.

Why not print instead of saveas PDF this will bring up the print dialog which has a print range so you can choose the pages.

Not quite sure what you mean.
How do you print and create a PDF?

RE: Save as PDF drwing sheet control.
If you have Adobe Acrobat (not just the free reader version, but the full blown purchased version), you can create pdf's the traditional way. That is to print them to Adobe.
The other option is to delete your flat pattern page before you save as pdf. Then close the drawing without saving because you don't want to permanently delete the flat pattern sheet.

Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.

Would you care to share that macro?
Thanks

RE: Save as PDF drwing sheet control.
I found a macro on the web that should do what you are asking about. The macro download is called "SaveAsPDF
WhatToPlot.zip" and can be found at this website: http://www.cadimensions.com/macros.htm
