Why not use "PrintToPDF" or the Windows equivalent to print PDFs, if that's what you want? Seems a duplication of effort for us to write yet another exporter when this is available. Go to http://www.jwwalker.com for the Mac version, and I think he has links to a Windows equivalent.

There are reasons to prefer the PDF print, and reasons to prefer the viewer, depending on what you want to let the client see. Pick the appropriate one.

I DO use PrintToPDF. I though that if OS X uses a PDF standard might NNA consider this format as a save option. Not a problem for me.

I must disagree. The two are at best very different solutions.

One natural advantage of Viewer9 is the ability to see your 3D model! Another is absolutely zero effort in printing the many sheets if you already have them set in VW. Now, this is purely my extrapolation about how it works after mousing through the menus because I cannot open any drawings! I'm still on 8. I hope I'm not too far off.
