SaveAs pdf Macro disclude one sheet 2

[ShaggyPE]

I have done some searching on this topic. Reference:
thread559-122404
thread559-163578
thread559-158861

thread559-122404 specifically is addressing my issue, but this was back in '05, so I am wondering if anything has changed.

My issue is this, I have 3 (sometimes 2) sheets on a drawing, the last sheet is always renamed to DXF and it is a flat pattern of a sheetmetal part. When I use a macro to saveas pdf, I would like it to not include the DXF sheet. Ideally I don't want to go the route of print to pdf, but if that is the only option, I will go there (primopdf). I don't seem to see an option when I SaveAs4 to select which sheets. It seems odd, because when I manually do a save as pdf, I am prompted which sheets I want to include.

Thanks in adavnce for the help. I have already received help from fcsuper. It is his macro that I tweaking for my needs.

SaveAs4 is obsolete as of SW07 SP1. The new method is ModelDocExtension::SaveAs, which includes support for selecting which sheets to save in a PDF. The API help even has an example for specifying which sheets to save.

Excellent, I will investigate that. I am writing the macro in 2006 for a friend using 2007. I will complete the changes you suggested in 07.

Thanks again.

This issue has been addressed in 2009, if I remember right. You can now select sheets to save for both PDF and DXF
