Hello, I need help with figuring out whats broken with EPDM and making it work correctly.
I'm using the "Convert Files" task to create .PDF files from my .SLDDRW files.
This appeared to be working corerctly, until we noticed that some information was missing from the PDFs.
Typically I am losing the numbering in notes formatted with numbering.
In the example below, I created two seperate .PDF filess from the same .SLDDRW file.
The top image shows what I got by opening the document and using Save As. As you can see, this worked just fine.
The bottom image is what I got from EPDM using the "Convert Files" task from the right click context menu. What happended to the note numbers, why are they missing?
We have thousands of files that need to be converted to PDF.
They are beign processed in batches of 10-100.
With such volumes, you can see why the Convert Files task would be desirable, as opposed to having to manually open each file, save it as a PDF, and close it.
Steven,
This is a pretty good discussion about how to make sure the convert task is running in the best possible environment:

Basically make sure that if you've updated EPDM that you also updated the task add-in and that you clicked the "Reset" button in the task scripting options (Page 97 of the 2013 install guide). Make sure wherever it runs is a fully supported computer with a supported video card and driver (validate in SolidWorks Rx), and check the log files created by the convert task on the workstation that ran it to see if there are specific errors for that file.
