I have written apps that batch saves PDF documents from SW drawings and to save time loads the drawings (which are assumed to be last saved since the model was changed) as view-only. I am starting a new one now, and it looks like something in SW has changed. The only save option for view-only drawings is PDF (and save as PDF via API call fails). I've tested on SW 2005 and 2006. The funny thing is, the last app I wrote for this ran on SW 2005, but I dont remember what service pack.
I have the SaveAsPDF addin loaded and when opening drawings normally I can save as PDF with no problem.
Does anyone have any more information on this? Or better yet, am I missing something and the functionality is still there (wishful thinking I'm afraid).
Thanks in advance.
