"Save-as PDF" Shows Up In My SW2003 Add-ins

When you install 2004 the pdf option becomes availiable for other versions of SolidWorks automatically. NICE!

I have loaded 2004 PR1 and it shows up there and also in 2003 SP4. Actually tried it in the 2003 app and it worked pretty well. Which then makes me wonder if it's just a matter of loading the DLL file as an add-in. If that's the case, then anyone could do it if they had the DLL file.

I haven't loaded 2004pr at all and I do not have the option to save as PDF. I can print though because we have adobe products.

The reason is when you installed SW04 PR1 the Bluebeam software was installed with it and it will show up in all SW's on your system.

If you look in your program files you will find Bluebeam Software

This is part of SW2004 since PreRelease1, it is actually a "normal" add-in (Bluebeam Pushbutton PDF Lite) and therefor availible for every installed SolidWorks version; it works also in SW2001Plus :-)

So if you want to keep the "Save as PDF" function in SW2003 don't deinstall SW2004.

Does openoffice.org install a PDF printer? I don't think mine did. Or is it an option?

Joel Moore quipped:

it's not a printer. there a little "export to PDF" button up top there.

and it's only in the 1.1betas and RCs. RC3 is really good. more stable than a SW final release. :)

Ah. But then that doesn't really replace PDF995 or Acrobat since you can create PDFs from any application with those tools.

Joel Moore quipped:

then install a mandrake server and use samba as a PDF printer for the entire office!!

GhostScript and FreeDist is little bit easier with win-enviroment..:-)

Now you're talking.

I'm actually making a serious attempt at installing at least one Linux server here at work (Redhat, though). I've still got a lot to learn but it'll be worth it to keep the yoke of MS "server-tude" (hyuk hyuk) off our little company's neck. It's much harder to divert a large company towards the open source alternatives than it is to grow up with them.

i WANT to change all of ours to linux. fscking worms and having to reboot all the servers pissed me off to no end.
