Save drawing parameters in custom PDF properties

[tthomasson]

I have been unable to find any documentation on the ProPDFExport function.

Question - when exporting a drawing to PDF, is it possible to export drawing parameters into custom properties within the new PDF?

For example, say my drawing has two parameters TITLE_LINE_1 and TITLE_LINE_2 with string values "STANDARD WIDGET" and "RED AND BLUE, LARGE" respectively. After exporting to PDF, I would like the newly created PDF to have two custom properties (metadata) with the same names and values.

Has anyone attempted something like this?

Though I haven't done it myself, I believe the mechanism is as follows:

ProPDFoptionsAlloc

ProPDFoptionsIntpropertySet(options, PRO_PDFOPT_PARAM_MODE, PRO_PDF_PARAMS_DESIGNATED);

ProPDFExport(model, path, options)

possibly with some tweaking before/after as to which parameters are designated.  Alternatively, you can use PRO_PDF_PARAMS_ALL to get all the parameters.

As a side note, I think that 'Customization' is the right forum instead of the broad Creo one for questions/issues about programmatic interfaces.
