 When using the EPLAN5 integration nothing happens ?
Sorry, but the PDF document, describing how to integrate DWF2PDF into EPLAN, shows an
incorrect command line in the call up for PDF generation if your program directory contains
a space (E.g. Program Files).
The batch file should be as follows for correct operation
002 C:\Progra~1\Hmsn\Dwf2Pdf\dwf2pdf.exe C:\TEMP\%p\e\pagidx.html -o %P.pdf

 I've found an error

check this FAQ if your problem is allready fixed or known.
We have a strong QA and we usually fix bugs withing
a few days. Note that bugfix-releases are not announced to the public
but instead offered for download at http://www.hmsupport.de/downloads.
Check the latest 2 digits of the version number . E.g. the current
version is 3.4.09, that is the 9th bugfixed version.
If you still think you've found a bug please report this bug!
Please register your product first!
Printing problems: We can't help you with printing problems as this
has nothing to do with our product.
However: we are using our product with postscript/PCL printers
from HP and Panasonic and color printers from Epson and HP.
You should check for newer printer drivers in case of problems -
note : we've never heard of any problem with postscript printers.

|
 There is text missing in my output
This is a typical font problem. In most cases you can solve the problem
by upgrading your viewer (E.g. Adobe 5.x).
Note that DWF2PDF does not embedd Truetype Tm Fonts for
copyright reasons - this might cause missing glyphs if you
don't have all used truetype fonts installed (typical Arial_21).
Note that you can't use the EPLAN5 font for Acrobat (old DOS-based
character font).

 My project has more that 5000 pages - can I use DWF2PDF
Yes.
The biggest project we had so far has 9921 pages and we could
view the result without problems using AcrobatTm Version 5.x.
(Win2000,SP2, 256MB Ram).
However: You should only generate huge PDF-files for archiving - do
not even think about posting a >50MB PDF file on the internet ;-)

Sorry - there was a bug in Version 3.1.04 - please download the latest
version. There's a simple workaround - if you don't want to upgrad now
please send us an email if you need a workaround description.

|
 Your example PDF documents include the page description and the page type - I don't get this information
Beginning with DWF2PDF version 3.5 we try to retrieve this information from
the HTML file (Description/Pagetype/Last Editor/Location/Drawing-Id).
However: Eplan5 does not write the pagteype yet.
|
|
 The ground(PE/GND) symbol and the Euro-sign(€) is missing
This should work with the full version of WWW.Out (Inter@View-WWW.Config) - the
standard (preview) version does not handle unicode and Eplan5 special characters.
Please not that DWF2PDF handels only a subset of Unicode characters.
