save as pdf creates a locked file

[bgriesel]

Both myself and my co-worker have run into this problem. If we "Save as" and select pdf the file is locked and cannot be opened by anyone other than the creator or the computer system admin. We only started noticing it within the last few months. This does not occur if I instead print to pdf using a system printer. It seems odd that it is happening to both of us.

Anyone have an idea?

Both systems are Windows 7 64bit and Solid Edge ST4(about to install ST6, perhaps that may fix?)

Thanks, I appreciate any help

Hello again,

Upgraded to ST6 and the pdf files created by Solid Edge "save as" are still a locked file only viewable to the creator.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks

Not seeing this issue at all. Should inherit the permissions from the folder in which they are placed. Do other users have the issue if you mail it to them?

Thanks, appreciate your comments.

The folders vary but are all within a common shared folder tree along with the part and assembly files which have no issue. We are a simple Windows network with sharing, with 2 installations of ST6 both running Win7-64. Both systems create locked pdf's using "Save as" If I print to a pdf printer instead of the "Save as" there is no issue.

Also, if the file is emailed the lock automatically comes off.

I have that printing to a pdf printer work around, but this all seemed odd since all other "save as" file type have no issue. And even odder that it was happening to 2 systems.

Thanks
