Microstation DGN Support

Avatar

Level 1

I received the following questions from a customer regarding support for converting DGN files to PDF...

  • Generate PDF Service can work with AutoCad files, but what can you tell me about its compatibility with Microstation files (.dgn files) ?
  • Can Generate PDF directly convert .dgn files to PDF format ?
  • Can the Generate PDF Service specially recognize separate levels on Microstation drawing?
  • I have similar questions about Acrobat.  Is Acrobat Professional Extended required to recognize and work with separate levels ?

I have checked the Supported Formats list for PDFG & PDFG 3D and do not see DGN files listed.  Would like to confirm that there are no work arounds that would enable DGN support before I respond to the customer.

Microstation has native PDF conversion support (based on our Adobe PDFLibrary) and they offer both desktop and server-side conversion options. I believe this is one reason we haven't bothered to support it ourselves.
