VBA Print To PDF from DWG

VBA Print To PDF from DWG

VBA Print To PDF from DWG

(OP)
Can anyone tell me how to print a series of drawings using the VBA printing PLOT object to print to a PDF?
I am having several problems with this. It works fine on my machine with an older version of Distiller, but not everyone here has distiller and I can't seem to find the version I have online for download. I get several errors on other peoples machine's using the code that works fine on my machine. does anyone know:

1) How to specify the output file location for a PDF print from VBA
2) A better printer driver for printing to PDF(Must work from VBA)
3) Any other information on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

The free PDF995 may be able to. Look here...

Actually I think I resolved most of these issues. The printer you referenced doesn't seem to work with a batch print. I wish there was better documentation of the print function from VBA.
