pdf export page select
hi,
do you know how to call the pop-pu box when you save your pdf (without macro) that allow you to select the pages that need to be save.
thanks,
steph
using acrobat pro, and using the pdf print driver, not the save as pdf.
the pdf sheet selection box should be there after you click the save button if you chose to save as pdf anyway, if its not and your in sw2008 click the options button before clicking save and check if there are any options for this (i cannot check at the mo just upgrading my sw08)
luke do you know if there is a bay to call the pdf sheet selection box with a macro ?
steph
stehane-
i don't think there's a way to do this--you'll have to create your own selection box. are you trying to give the operator the option to pick a specific sheet or sheets, or do you know in advance which sheets to output (ie the visible one)?

thanks for the answer jason,
i have done a list box (if more then 1 sheet is present) where i list the sheets available and the user can select the sheets he needs to export and it works fine.

hi stephane,
i have been looking for a macro that exports a specific sheet from a multi sheet drawing but have been unsuccessful in finding one. all the ones i have found export all in one shot.
would you be able to share this macro by any chance.
thanks.
hi stephane,
i've also been looking for a macro that exports a single sheet in pdf format.
i also don't understand why the views within the sheet are placed in the pdf file when normally created.
i would be greatly appreciative of any help or if you could possibly share your macro.
thanks,
