Question
Hi,

A client we have is in need of converting approximately 5500 CadKey 99 *.PRT drawings to PDF.  Is there a way to do this in a batch, or do I have to write a script to print each one to "Adobe PDF" writer.

Thanks,
Dan

Answer
Dan, I don't think you'll be able to do a direct coversion from the PRT files to PDF. However, you can convert PRT to DXF thru Cadkey's CDE Execute. Acrobat should then be able to open these DXF files or even run a batch 'import & save as PDF' process.

Hope this helps!
