PDF lovers

To everybody who prints to PDF: I just tried out saving to DWF and use the
new Autodesk Express Viewer. Works fine, even gives you layer functions and
switch on/off for views.

The reason I always print to PDF is because "almost" everyone in the world
has access to a free pdf reader. Also most have used them before. Layer
functions would be nice, but if the recipient has to obtain and install
(even if free) software, it is a big negative. Another thing, how is the
language support for the Autodesk Express Viewer? Many of my emails go to
Asia.

Or views placed off the sheet.... Very interesting exercise in futility
trying to get them to print correctly.... Especially if they are sent to
(non technical) people who don't appreciate the quirks and workarounds
so many of us here deal with on a daily basis.

I am not sure you boys know about this, but Adobe Acrobat allow indexing and catalog of text of all your PDF Inventor Files.

I have over 2500 drawings that I printed to PDF then Indexed with Adobe Acrobat. Acrobat creates a .PDX file in which I linked in to our entire plant on our Intranet. Plant employees can then type in a part number in Adobe Reader and pull search results PDF drawings in which that specific text is located. Many companys spend 1000's of dollars on recalling information quickly. Acrobat allows this ability which out purchasing a lot of software since you can search indexes used Adobe Reader. It's awesome and fast.

How do you create the index?  The "Catalog"
tool?

 

Guess I'll have to read about this
sometime.

I'm with Ron.  Could you give us a quick
tutorial on the approach?  This does sound
useful.
