Hello everybody. 
I was searching through form but i didn't get an answer if there is possible to Export PDF of available films in OrCad PCB Designer 17.2 using skill.

So my question is: is there any skill function which can do that?

Thank you so much for your answer. 

Best regards.

Janez

    Something like:

    sprintf(cmd, "pdf_out test.brd -o test -f TOP -f BOTTOM -m -n -i -v -e -S")

    axlRunBatchDBProgram("pdfout" cmd ?noUnload t )

    See the documentation for pdf_out in the ...\share\pcb\batchhelp folder
