Hi,

I need to export a lot of dwg files to PDF files. Foxit Reader opens automatically PDF files everytime I plot. That is a little bit inconvienence.

So, could I know how to stop Foxit Reader open automatically PDF files?

Thank you so much.

Are you using DWG to PDF.PC3 to create the PDF files? If so, there is a setting in the PC3 to "Open in PDF viewer when done". You need to UNcheck this.

This blog post (although it's talking about something different) shows the screenshots needed to find this setting.
