Converting Mathcad Files to PDF Format
Mathcad A472 Printing to a PDF file. Currently, there is no feature to directly convert a Mathcad worksheet into a .pdf file. You can use third-party products. We do not endorse or support those products. We do have information on using Mathcad with Adobe Distiller. A. Print to file — Open your Mathcad worksheet. — Choose File, Print. — In the print dialog choose «print to file.» — Mathcad will save the format with a .prn extension. B. Convert to PDF in Adobe Distiller — Open Adobe Distiller. — Choose File, Open, and choose the file that you saved as a .prn file in Mathcad — Distiller then converts the file to PDF. C. Read file in Acrobat — Open Adobe Acrobat and open your file. Note that any issues with the translation into PDF must be addressed with Adobe. Printing & Display Mathcad Windows 98 2000 en Export

Как сохранить маткад в пдф
- Установите PDF24 Creator
- Откройте.mcd файл с помощью ридера, который может открыть файл.
- Распечатайте файл на виртуальном PDF24 PDF принтере.
- Помощник PDF24 открывает окно, в котором Вы можете сохранять новый файл как PDF, отправлять по его email, факсу или редактировать.
Альтернативный способ того, как преобразовать MCD файл в PDF файл
- определите место в документе, где должно появиться выражение, щелкнув мышью в соответствующей точке документа;
- введите левую часть выражения;
- введите знак равенства .
- Определите место в выражении, куда следует вставить функцию.
- Нажмите кнопку с надписью f(x) на стандартной панели инструментов (на нее указывает курсор на рис. 1.2).
- В списке Function Category (Категория функции) появившегося диалогового окна Insert Function (Вставить функцию) выберите категорию, к которой принадлежит функция, — в нашем случае это категория Trigonometric (Тригонометрические).
- В списке Function Name (Имя функции) выберите имя встроенной функции, под которым она фигурирует в Mathcad (sin). В случае затруднения с выбором ориентируйтесь на подсказку, появляющуюся при выборе функции в нижнем текстовом поле диалогового окна Insert Function.
- Нажмите кнопку ОК — функция появится в документе.
- Заполните недостающие аргументы введенной функции (в нашем случае это 1/4).

Hello,
I have a question pertaining to a process that our stress engineers are currently using. After completing a mathcad worksheet, they print to Adobe PDF printer which then pops up the Save PDF dialog box (I can»t find a way to automate this part). They name and save the PDF file. Once created, Acrobat standard opens and they select file save as .PNG. Multiple .png files are created based upon the number of pages in the pdf file that were created. After this is completed the entire set of .png files are inserted into a word document. Inserting the set of .png files is laborous because with their current process, they have to insert the .png files into the word doc one at a time.
If they have multiple .mcd files to convert and place within the word doc, you can imagine how long this entire process takes. I have been tasked with developing a new process.
I envision creating a tool that can select multiple mathcad files and then batching them through this process (MathCAD -> PDF -> PNG -> word) . I am asking for suggestions on how to best accomplish this. Basically, the reason PDF is in the loop is that it formats the .MCD file to their standards. Any other approach with Mathcad produces erratic behavior. The final output must be in a word doc, due to large company policy.
So far, I haven»t found any concrete examples of how to accomplish this.
Thanks All,
James
Re: Mathcad ->PDF->PNG->WordDoc
Automating MathCAD to print to PDF would be dependant upon MathCAD and its automation abilities. Acrobat can»t force an external application to print something to PDF.
You could certainly automate Acrobat to output a PDF to PNG.
Again, Acrobat cannot convert a PNG to a Word doc, so that part of the automation process would fall out of the scope of Acrobat automation. You»d want to look into VBA for Word to automate that portion.
Re: Mathcad ->PDF->PNG->WordDoc
Malkyt,
There is no option in MathCAD File->SaveAs->WordDoc
You can save as .rtf, .html, or a different version of mathCAD.
MathCAD»s automation gave me a .printall() method. PrintAll prints to windows default printer. I can programmatically change my default printer, however, the hitch is when adobe PDF is the default printer, the save as PDF print dialogue pops up and requires user intervention. Is there a way to automate this? I saw a silent print method in the acrobat libraries after browsing through the object browser in VS 2003.
Basically, mathcad looks somewhat limited. It looks like I have to print to adobe PDF to format the data. not sure how this process works behind the scenes though. At what point does adobe take over from mathcad?
