Create manufacturing data

I am trying to write a skill program that will create all of the files required when a layout is completed and ready to go to fab or assembly. I just want to issue a command like “CreateMFG” and have it create:
1.       Gerber artworks
2.       Drill data
3.       Fabrication PDF
4.       Assembly PDF
5.       Pick and Place info
6.       ODBC++ info

Does anybody have anything like this that I could use as a starting point? Writing a skill program to create a pdf of the drawings is the one I really need an example of.

Thanks, Phil

Hi Ole,
Google Adobe Acrobat Distiller and download it.
When installing, choose the local printer option and set the file to Local Port. Don't select the "generic post script printer", instead browse to your distiller location.
You will also need Ghostscript.
Regards,
Dave
