Hi Wes,

This API sample demonstrates how to use the API to create a job.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Autodesk Vault 2014 SDK\VS10\CSharp\JobProcessorApiSamples

It copies a file from the vault to a folder on the drive. Your code could do something like this to get the file and open it using the CAD programs API. There is not a Vault API call to make a pdf file. You can use the Inventor API or AutoCAD API to create a pdf. Your code can read from your config file to get the layer or layout to use.

This DevBlog post could be of use if the system where you are going to plot from does not have Inventor Installed:
