I've been creating my BOM's in the assembly since SW2009 made this possible.
However when I save them as pdf files I'm unable to open these with Adobe.
Anybody else have this problem?

My system freezes when I do this but I'm able to open the pdf file generated. Instead I use a PDF printer and print my BOM as pdf.

I haven't tried this in v2009 yet--but as Deepak mentioned, you can use a PDF printer to do this sort of thing from just about any program that allows you to print from. In my case, I like PDF995. It's got a free or paid-for version (inexpensive) and I create all sorts of files from all sorts of programs using this little tool. (Web site is pdf995.com I believe.) One of the most handy utilities amongst my tools, and it should work fine for doing what you're attempting. Try the free version (which is what I use--no watermarks) and see if it works out. If not, it's easy to uninstall.

  Thanks Deepak & Jeff. I have a printer PDF program. I just saved as an Excel file
  and that worked. Just thought it was strange that a pdf file was created but it doesn't open.
