Print to PDF issue for printmanager Revit API

[Anonymous]

When I tried to use printManager API for Revit using C# for the batch process,

It is asking "Save as" dialog every time and expecting user has to click Ok. Can anyone help me to stop this dialog?

Hi, I use BulzipPDF, it allows you to configure settings via C#. 
Also there are other settings, for example, you can set the path to a folder or merge files.

Hi,

Thank you for the response. Is Bullzip a freeware?

Hi,

please note that this "Freeware" is not as free as you might think:

http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php

"This program is FREEWARE with limitations, which means that there is a FREE version for personal and commercial use up to 10 users."

If you don't know the number of people using your add-in, you cannot use it at all, so you need to purchase a commercial licence.

There may be another way around your issue using the API but I currently: change my computer's Adobe PDF printing preferences like this: set 'Adobe PDF Output' to "Documents\*.pdf" and disable 'View Adobe PDF results'. It should resolve your issue but I haven't investigated using more of the API to resolve it in a long while.
