We are currently running WF3, M160. We often have multi-sheet drawings where sheet 2 is the dxf view for export to our CNC programming. So, we don't want to export sheet 2 to the pdf of the production drawing. However, the File > Save As > PDF dialog does not allow the user to specify which sheets get exported - it automatically exports all sheets.
My question is this: is that behavior fixed in a later version of ProE? To put in another way, what version would we have to upgrade to in order to be able to specify that we only create sheet 1 in the pdf?
Thanks.

I've never used the built in Pro/E PDF options due to limitations like this. If you print to a PDF, using Acrobat or some other 3rd party PDF 'printer', you can select what sheets to print.
We have made a couple mapkeys to accomplish the scenario that you are encountering. Then we made icons tied to the mapkeys and placed them on the toolbar so they are only shown when viewing a drawing.
The only down side is that our PDF are not text searchable like you can produce using the PTC icon.
Thank you,
