When I was adding Drawing files to windchill I typically upload an associated PDF for distribution. Originally I would open the drawing in Creo, save it to my workspace then do a "Save as" -> PDF. This would save the part, drawing and a PDF of the drawing in my workspace and I could check-in all 3 to the same file folder. Later, I started just checking-in the drawing and part then later adding the PDF by using the "multiple new document" function in Windchill. I thought I was accomplishing the same thing but I found a problem. The pdf files uploaded from creo dont recognise that they are PDFs they show up as Document catigory: Other"
This wouldnt bother me except the recognised PDF files have more options than the "unknown" PDFs. Seen here:
The file with the Adobe logo is the working one and the black arrow is the non working one. All I need to be able to do is "Checkout and Edit" or simply "Replace" for when changes are made to the Drawing file the PDF can be upadated too. Is there a way I can get that functionality out of the non recognized pdfs? Is there a way I can set them to BE pdfs in windchill?
Any help would be much appreciated!
