PDF Export - Open file at completion

[thomas_reynolds_aia]

Add the option to open the PDF export on completion of creating.

You can automatically open pdf files upon completion, if you're using CutePDFWriter of PDF24 (both free).

For PDF24 you have to go in the software settings to check the option (it will not display the option in the printing dialog). 

"Microsoft to PDF" doesn't seem to have such option.

Before R22, when we were exporting in PDF, the PDF file was opening automatically. Now, it doesn't and the file does not appear in the last file section of Windows so it's time consuming to open the file to verify it has we have to open the folder (often a long way into the server).

In addition to this, the PDF creation dialog box should have a button to Browse next to the file name.  Often I want to name a file with the same format as another file but with a different date, suffix, etc.  As it is now, I have to either open a separate Explorer window and copy/paste the file name format I want, or I have to name it something else and then go find it in Explorer and rename it.  Or perhaps a "save after file creation" option could accomplish a similar result.

@ipselute that looks like the print dialog, not the export dialog.  Can you confirm those work specifically with export?  It's already built in to the print dialog by default (at least with Bluebeam).  Nonetheless, this is such a simple thing, users should not need a plug-in for it.  Please add this Autodesk, regardless of how many votes this has it's a no-brainer and should be simple to include.
