Auto Create PDF
(OP)
Has anybody running PDM had any success with the feature that automatically creates PDF's on check in of a DRW in SW 08 SP 1.0

'08 gives you the option to create a pdf at check-in. However, as you can see from my previous post, it doesn't do it as one would want/expect.

It would be an easy matter to add a save as... msgbox line to the end of the code.

RE: Auto Create PDF
I have that feature turned on and I understand how to get to the PDF's. But oddly enough, when I check in a drawing there isn't a PDF created. If I use task scheduler to mass create the PDF's then my option to view them as PDF works as it should.
RE: Auto Create PDF
That's strange, and doesn't make sense. Have you talked to your VAR? It may be a missing dll...

RE: Auto Create PDF
I have SP 1.0 installed here and have tested the Auto PDF creation capability in PDMWorks 2008 and found it to be working fine on the files that I tested. I really think this was a fantastic addition to PDMWorks in 2008. I only wish that PDF's for DWG files could be handled this way. We have roughly 7,000 released drawings in DWG format and would like to provide them in PDF automatically as well. I have submitted an enhancement request and would ask others to do this as well.
