I am currently using Inventor with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM.
My problem is that does not create a PDF.
I need to create a complement ? Is there a converter? Someone could help me.
In advance thank you
I just completed a trial of EPDM with Inventor 2012, but I don't think I thought to try creating a PDF. Are you sure you can't just use the Inventor "Save As Copy" function, like normal? I can't see any reason that wouldn't work, but I admit that I don't think I thought to try it.

In my company we use Solidworks, Inventor, Autocad and Solidworks Enterprise PDM.
ePDM is a business choice and should work with software.
I would like to save automatically PDF files without using "save as" because it should be an antomatic task.

I think I misunderstood your original question. Is it that you want to have a PDF of a drawing automatically created when the drawing changes to release state in the vault? I will soon want to do that, too, but I haven't yet figured out how. If I find a solution I'll post it here.
This really sounds like an EPDM question, I think very few people around here are going to know much about it. I hate to chase anyone away,... but maybe this question should (also) be asked on a Solidworks EPDM forum? Between the 2 sites maybe someone would know how to do this?

I came here with a Google search and tried this way first because I didn't have any answer from my ePDM VAR. The problem is that ePDM comes with an automated task able to produce a PDF file when approving a drawing, but this task is fully integrated in Solidworks and pre-compiled as a dll file or something like that, so it can't be easily read. That's way I think it's an "inventor-side" problem 😉
