In this video I will be showing how to create a task in SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard to create PDF files from drawings. This task can be used to automatically create the PDF files as the drawing moves through the workflow. It can be used to generate PDF files for checking, and for a final print as the drawing is moved to the released state. In PDM Standard, the task will run on the computer that initiated the transition that contains the task. During the creation of the task, the location to save the pdf files is designated, as well as the pdf file name.
