    Thumbs down DWG to PDF no preview please

    My goal is to publish drawings using the DWG to PDF plotter. I would like to turn off the option "Open in PDF viewer when done" located under the plotter custom properties. When I try to save the setting "uncheck" it always automatically revert back to be checked..? The problem is that if you have the PUBLISHCOLLATE set to 0 you're going to have a billion iteration of PDF viewer opening all over your desktop... Any one has a good recipe?

    are you able to succesfully save the pc3 file when you modify the custom properties?

    There are 2 things to consider:

    - "DWG to PDF.pc3" file might be write-protected, because I don't have that problem, and my choice remains after I save it;
    - if you use Publish, the choice you make inside Publish dialog about "Open in viewer when done" (make sure it's UN-checked) overwrites the setting in your PC3 file.

    Hope this helps.
