Print to pdf

[TASCT]

I've got about 100 documents I need to print to pdf, and was wondering if there's a way to automate the process in WF3

I think Pro/Batch is still available in WF3. You could set up Pro/Batch to generate postscript files and then dump those files to Acrobat Distiller's watched folder which will then generate the PDF's

See the following link and then read the sections on Configuring Pro/Engineer and Configuring Pro/Batch, and Running Pro/Batch

thanks for the help, I found that site by browsing some older posts of similar content, but wasn't able to follow completely, so I just did it the brute force way, since trying to automate was going taking longer.

Yea, that was written back in Pro/E 2001. I didn't really update it for WF3 but thought it should work. My understanding is that Pro/Batch is still in Pro/E. It's a pretty powerful utility but the documentation is non-existent. It takes a bit of knowledge of Pro/E administration to really make sense of it all.
