Macro To Save Drawing As Pdf

[ptc-5871495]

Can anybody help???

I need a macro that can automatically create a pdf file directly from a drawing. Can this be done?

Also....

I need a macro that can get the currect document name and filename extension and display it in a msgbox (For testing only)

Many thanks in advance!!!

There is already a button for PDF. If you want a macro (like you want the key binding) just make one of hitting that button.

This will do it. You need a file setup named production_pdf_release with the pdf export configuration you want. I then put a icon in the ribbon that calls the mapkey in drawing mode and creates the pdf and dxf.
