ilogic user define information

Hi,

 

I am working on an ilogic rule to save a pdf with multiple pages. I am needing to define the file name differently. For instance my idw file name is 0.123.456.idw. For the pdf file, it needs to be 0123456_A_1-2_100715. Meaning A is the revision, 1-2 is the number of pages (1 page is just 1 and 3 pages is 1-3), and 100715 is the date format.

 

My other question is how can I have the user select the save location.

 

Maybe it would be easiest to have it set up to automatically secelt the multiple pages in pdf and have the user define the file name and location. If this is so, I don't know how to set it up to do that.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi.

 

If you have heard of google or "Search" those are usually good places to start.

 

For the name, you will have to create a string using the various properties.

 

Ie;

 

oPDFName = oPath & oDoc.Name & "_" & oSheetRev" &  "_" & "1" & oSheets.Count & "_" & System.DateString.To("d") & ".pdf"

 

Of course that is just a sample and WILL NOT work but shows the general format of the pdf file name.
