We would like to “react” to the loading of PDF representation on drawings (EPMDocument). The loading is done via the RepHelper from Windchill Vieable Service in a separated process.

Which event in Windchill should we listen at ?

I thought ContentServiceEvent.POST_UPLOAD could be a good candidate, but i could not see it triggered during the load.

Hi @lmouchard,

Could you please clarify the use case?
Why is there a need to listen during the loading of a representation?

Hi @TDT, we would like to transfer this PDF representations to ERP for specific status. The user could then access them from the plant.

In that case, you should be able to trigger it based on specific criteria whenever the publishing is successful. Alternatively, this may also be achievable through an EDR Loader.
Could you please clarify what you mean by “loading of representation”?

Hi @lmouchard,

The PDF file is generated as part of the publishing process, during the conversion of the heavyweight model to a lightweight representation through CAD Workers.
You can always access the Representation PDF either through a Publish Success Listener or by using an EDR Loader.

Thanks, I’ll have a try with the event PublishServiceEvent.PUBLISH_SUCCESSFULL. I could not really find any documentation about it yet.

You will have access to the Representation through the Publish_SUCCESSFUL event.
From there, you can retrieve all the relevant information related to the Representation.
