    Default PDF Reader Opens in Spite of Setting It Not To

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am using some LISP code to save a PDF file of the layouts in a drawing. I am using the DWG To PDF.pc3 driver in AutoCAD 2013. I have gone into the properties of this driver and set it to "NOT" open the PDF Reader after the file is saved. I then saved this driver to a new name called DWGN To PDF.pc3. However, the reader opens up anyway. This of course will not work because this is an automated process and by the end of the day there will be dozens of instances of the reader opened on the screen.
    It's deja vu, all over again.

    Yikes, you're absolutely right there SunnyTurtle. I guess I need to give it a much more descriptive name. It's too close to the generic one I failed to see that I left off the "N" in the name. It's working properly now. Too many tests leave one thinking it's all like it's supposed to be.

    Thanks.
