As you may know, MicroStation PDF Composer was introduced with MicroStation V8 2004 Edition as a tool for users to easily take a set of design files and create a content rich PDF. There will not be a MicroStation PDF Composer for the V8i release. Instead, you can now use ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer V8i to locally export PDFs. ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer is enabled by a ProjectWise Passport, and all MicroStation SELECT subscribers receive a ProjectWise Passport subscription as a no-charge benefit of SELECT, MicroStation users now have a license to run ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer.
ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer V8i has all the features that you had with your MicroStation PDF Composer. Any plot set (IPS), Design Script (PEN) or Settings (SET) files that you have created with MicroStation PDF Composer will continue to work with ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer. Additional format support is provided with ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer to include your PDF and Microsoft Office (DOC, XLS and PPT) documents in plot sets. This enables you to create a complete PDF document of both your plans and specifications. You must load Adobe Acrobat or Ghostscript (free download) on your machine to process Microsoft Office files to PDF using ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer.
You are not required to be a ProjectWise or ProjectWise InterPlot Server user to use ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer, but it does integrate well with ProjectWise and you can take advantage of ProjectWise InterPlot Server's added functionality of true network plotting and its digital plan room.
MicroStation PDF Composer V8 2004 Edition and V8 XM will continue to be available for MicroStation V8 2004 Edition and V8 XM users until they migrate to MicroStation and ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer V8i.
You will need to remove MicroStation PDF Composer before loading ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer.
