Automatic PDF creation in PDMW causes hang for only one user

I'm administrating PDMW on a project, and have the "Create PDF files in the Vault on normal check in of SolidWorks drawings" option set.  One user recently started having an issue where every time he checks in a new drawing, it tries to open the PDF it has created, and gives him a message saying it can't find it.  None of the other users working in this vault (there are 6 of us) has any such problem.  I don't immediately find any local setting that seems to apply.  Anyone seen this, or have any ideas?

Correct Answer

Hi Charley,

Have the user within a SolidWorks Session go to “File Save As” and select the pdf type.

Check to see if there is already a check mark in the box labeled “View PDF after saving” .

It there is: clear it and follow through and then test with the vault again.

You may be running into spr 601015.
