Question

Selective PDF export

Hi,

 

For some time now I've been searching for a solution regarding PDF exporting from CREO.

I do know how to make a PDF so that is not the problem.

 

My problem is that when we have a drawing with e.g 10 pages, where the last page is a DXF page (scale 1:1)

We don't want that last page to be in the PDF.. so is there a way to make a PDF of the first 9 pages.

We have a worker installed on our server to make the PDF so it must be something that can be done by the worker, and we don't always have 10 pages, it can be more or less that that from drawing to drawing.

 

Do any of you ha a solution for this problem..??

Hi,

I am almost sure that there is no out-of-the-box solution.

I guess you can develop Toolkit application and attach it somehow to Creo worker. You can ask PTC Support if it is possible.

If that worked on drawings it would be perfect 🙂

 

But as it stands right now I'm going to try and make a macro that can be run by the worker, to remove the unwanted layer, make the pdf and then exiting the drawing without saving
