Title: pdf plot (cutepdf)
Post by: rhino on October 13, 2011, 10:44:47 PM
Hi,

The following link shows how the file name and path are provided for an ms. access document...

We have a batch plot routine and prefer to use cutepdf for plotting as ACAD 2007 dwg to pdf.pc3 results in large pdf files
As cutepdf behaves like a printer it opens outside the ACAD shell - which is why we can't pass the file name or path via lisp...

Is it possible to pen a vba app that could be called though the LISP - or rewrite the batch plot to vba completely? I am not a programmer but manage to understand LISP - haven't got a clue with vba or other languages...

Appreciate the help.

Chris.
