Hello guys,

Can be possible to generate directly a PDF shop doc document?

I mean, actually I generate it on NX as HTML document.
I have to export it to a virtual PDF printer. Can I avoid the virtual printer step? some programming maybe... I don't know actually.
Or NX only can take shop doc in HTML format documents?.

Thanks.

Shopdocs only write our text files.
If you have a command line to convert (print) the html to a pdf, you could do it with tcl at the end of the shop doc. Close the output file, and then run the command from tcl. This is similar to what many users do at the end of postprocessing.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the answer.

You mean to run the "pdf virtual printer" with some TCL-TK programing?
I mean, launch the HTML from NX and after that generate the PDF with virtual printer, this virtual printer is executed form TCL-TK programming? is right?

Some programming of virtual printer lunch, at last of shop doc TCL code?

Thanks.
