PDMW API Saving a PDF

[crimsonlake]

Hello,
I need help with creating a DLL or an EXE that will run when a drawing is checked into the PDMW vault that creates a PDF of the drawing and checks it in with a reference to the original drawing. In discussion boards I have seen reference to this being done but no specifics on how. I am in the novice stages of API programming so the more help the better (i.e code examples).
We have PDMW advanced server.

Thanks,
Chris

I wrote a stock-chartbook program that prints multiple web pages to a PDF document using PDF995.

The key to writing a PDF in this program is that the PDF generator (like most PDF generators) acts like a printer. If you can write a program that creates a print on cue, you can adapt it to create a PDF.

Due to illness, the part of The Tick will be played by... The Tick.

If you take a look under the hood, you will see that the difference between "TIFF"ing out a SW drawing using CCIT4 format, and 'printing' a PDF using Acrobat is not much more than striiping out the TIFF header, and comments, and wrapping that in a PDF header.

I was considering making a quick-and-dirty SW PDF plotter until SW04. :/
