 We have Pen Mappings in our .pltcfg file and we would like to convert these to a .CTB, how can we do this?

Steps to Accomplish

Open the Print Dialog box and select Resymbolization->New Pen Table
Give new Pen Table a name
In the Modify Pen Table GUI, Click on Map Pen Colors...
Select Edit->Import from Printer Driver Configuration...
Select your .pltcfg
Please note that your pen colors are imported, click on OK
Click on File->Export CTB File...
Name your .ctb file in the location you want to place it at
You now have converted the Map Pen Colors to a .ctb file
