print to pdf

I'm new to Inventor, and to ilogic. I want to print to pdf. I've found the "PDFAddIn" used for this purpose, but I don't see any documentation for it. How would I as a new user know its there? How do I know how to invoke it? There must be documentation but I cannot find it.

 

I found on the forum this code which will print to pdf, and which will work for me:

Thanks

The documentation for the addin are available in the API help. If you look to samples you will find the sample pdf print written in vba code. Have you accessed the help file before? 

You can find it in the ribbon under help>programming api help. Type in the search bar pdf print and you when the .chm file appears.

That is the answer to my question but I do not see how to open the API help. The only interface I can see is when I go to add a rule or edit a rule from Inventor... I don't see a help menu here? Perhaps I have not installed a component... or I'm just plain missing it.

 

Thanks

It isn’t near the ilogic editor unfortunately. In the main ribbon under help or the ? Symbol.

here is a link to an image.

It is also available online but for some reason all autodesk help files are down at the moment.
