Save as PDF with Folder Selection
Save as PDF with Folder Selection
(OP)
There's been a lot of discussion in this forum about macros that allow the user to quickly save a drawing or drawing view as a PDF. (such as thread559-163578: Save as PDF example code ) I recently created a new macro that addresses may of the old requests including those not previously touched. It's uploaded here: SaveAsPDF with Folder Selection. Check it out and let me know what you think.
I'm hoping to vet this macro a bit to make sure it's working well on as many systems as possible.

RE: Save as PDF with Folder Selection
I tried your macro on a 1 sheet drawing and it worked great. I was using cutePDF writer but this is faster and puts it in a folder of my liking.
A star for you.
Thank you.

I can save screenshots of models without any problems, but if I try and save a drawing (either single sheet or multi-sheet) I get the following error:

SW 2009 Commands type library
SW 2009 type library
SW 2009 constant type library
SW 2009 exposed type libraries for add-ins use
These other ones do not have a date on them:
Visual basic for applications
SW extensibility type library
OLE Automation
SldWinShellExt 1.0 type library
Not sure if there is a particular one I should look for.

Try to refresh these libraries. Check all SW Libraries off and click ok. Save the macro and go to the same dialog. Now check them on. Save macro and run it again.
