Publish a PDF file

  • Right-mouse-click the IDW file and select Publisher4VLT -> Create publishing jobs.

  • A message will inform you that an Arkance.VaultPublisher.Inventor.Pdf job was successfully added to a queue for the selected IDW file. Click OK.

  • Run the Autodesk Job Processor 20xx for Vault (the 'xx' corresponds to your installed Vault version), or utilize the Pause/Resume workflow. The publishing job will be processed.

  • Refresh the Vault client window.

  • The PDF file from the IDW drawing was created in the same location as the source file.

Review the publishing results

The PDF file was created (according to the publishing job configuration) with the same name as the source IDW file, within the default Base category, and no lifecycle state and revision was assigned.

  • Click the source IDW file and select the Published files tab in the Vault Preview Pane.

  • The published PDF file appears in the list of published files for the source IDW file.

  • Select the PDF file in the list and click View published file. The PDF file will open in the external PDF viewer (if installed).

The Published files tab allows you to quickly see all the files published for a given source file in one place, so you don't need to search for them among other design and visualization files.

Moreover, it can help you preview the file names of your future published files (i.e., files that have not been published yet) when configuring the publishing job.
