Just wondering if there are any tools out there that will allow me to click on a button in ProE (WildFire) and create a PDF version of a drawing that is currently in view. We currently do have Adobe Acrobat installed on all our designers PC's.
Thanks for any help

You could print it to a pdf file using Acrobat Distiller.

There are a few free and a number of inexpensive (~ $20) pdf writers that install as Windoze print devices. A web search should turn up a few.

Most of the suggestions are for using ghostscript because it's free and works with different platforms,.. it's ok but if your on a windows OS, I'd suggest getting one of the inexpensive pdf writer programs or go with your installed acrobat since it gives you much more control if you edit your pdf's.
In either case, doing a one button pdf should be possible with a mapkey(s) and the above examples using ghostscript shows this as well as using pro/batch.

Are you saying this is available out of the box with Wildfire v2?

Well, roger, you see the link above, the one that Toby so kindly provided in his post? It should not be too complicated, even for a degreed engineer. You take your mouse and you click on it (or maybe you have to double click ~ if you wish to pay my airfare to France, I will install it for you, no charge ~ Vive la France) merd

FreeDist 2.5 automates making a pdf file using Ghostscript which you already have. You will learn all you need to know by going to the site, downloading the zip file and reading the detailed documentation.
