Pro/E to PDF

[Jason L]

What is the least complicated and cheapest (preferably free) to convert
Pro/E files to .pdf? I am using Wildfire 2.0

Thanks in advance.

I run Pro/E on Windows XP. This is not free, but it's cheap, and it works
well. It can create full size PDFs (d-size, e-size, etc.). It lets you
create PDF files from any Windows application. It sets itself up as a new
printer. So all you have to do is go to print and select it.

Also, some of the above are front ends to Ghostscript, a GPL/AFPL licensed utility
to convert postscript files to PDF. But you can achieve most of what the above
supply with GS alone available at
http://www.ghostscript.com/

The main thing to realize about all of these is that no 'Save as..' format exists
for doing this conversion (I believe that's universally true, not just for Pro/e).
They are all some variety of 'printing to file' as postscript output, then
converting this to the PDF. Even Adobe Distiller does no more.

Ghostscript. I have it running in command line mode all the time on a print
server. I created a postscript printer using the Adobe Distiller .ppd file
and each of my users just prints from Proe-E, using the printer named "PDF"
and then points to the watched folder on the print server (Named "In"). The
completed .pdf ends up in a folder named "Out". Pretty well idiot proof.

Does any of these pdf writers correctly create details when the detail
has an OLE object in it? Distilling directly from ProE does not. I
have to print to file a postscript file using a postscript printer
driver (an HP printer driver that supports postscipt, for example).
Then I have to send this postscript file to the distiller. I think it
has something to do with ProE uses a generic postscript driver, which
doesn't recognize OLE objects, when it creates the postscript file to
send directly to the distiller.

Thanks,

Kirk
