I asked this question once before.
Can somebody help me out with creating a macro or custom task for the task
scheduler that will let me do a "Save As PDF"?
It would be great if it worked much the same way the "Print" option works in
the task scheduler, allowing you to pick which files you want to save as PDF
files. Then just let it run.
I've been trying to create a macro that will run within a custom task in
scheduler, but I'm not having much luck. It's all very new to me and have
never tried anyting like this before.
Thanks,
Richard
Rather than use the "Save as PDF" add-in, why not just print them to PDF? I
don't know diddly about the Scheduler, but printing to pdf works just fine
for me, whether I use Adobe or the BlueBeam stuff.

If you want to spend a little money (90.00 us) take a look at PAC4SW at
formatting link
This program will do what you want
along with doing TIFF, DWG, DXF, Edrawings any of the 3D File exports.
We've used it for almost a year and wouldn't do it any other way. This
was definetly money well spent.

If you want to do special things (put custom properties in the name, or
other special logic), email me @ work
(E-don'tspamme-ever!!- snipped-for-privacy@TriMech.com). I have written a custom add-in
to do just that. I am sure we can find a mutually agreeable price.

to batch print files, and I use a program called PDF Factory
formatting link
to collect prints and save as PDF (it's set up as a
printer). It works pretty well. You could use PDF Factory without
BatchWorks just as easily if you don't need the batch printing
functionality.

There is software that works as "virtual printer"...Everything you print
from any application (not only CAD ofcourse) it converts to PDF - it works
perfect !
Hope this helps !

When I am creating batch prints or I create multiple drawings for
presentations I use the Lenny's batch printer (
formatting link
) and the free version
of PDF 995(google it). Only works if the drawings are all the same paper
dimensions. These are of course both free.

Thanks Brian, I'll give this a look and see how it works out for us.
