How do you convert pro/e drawings to pdf format?
 
Download PDF995 from the following site:



http://www.software995.com/



Install it, and when installed you can select PDF995 as printer. (see link of screenshot below, it's in Dutch but it should look familiar I hope)

Another free program is Jaws PDF creator.

Works almost the same and doesn't have annoying pop-ups

as far as I can remember...



Hope I helped!

Anybody knowing about Pushbutton pdf.

Have heard its useful for direct conversion of

proe drawings to pdf for further print.

We use PDF Factory in which you send a print to the program and it convets it to a PDF file. It's very simple to use.

1) If you want name brand then use Adobe Acrobat. NOT free but works well and has support.

2) Ghostscript / Ghostview is probably the best free tool out there. Once installed you create a mapkey to automatically create a pdf from your drawing. There is a free video that shows you step by step how to find and get ghostscript and set up the mapkey.

Kvision,



How can you embed pro/e drawing into Adobe acrobat?

I mean if there is a way to create a mapkey to convert pro/e models and/or drawings directly into pdf or postcript.
