I’m using MS Project 2010 Professional. I’m not precisely sure what you mean by “creating the filters” and “recording your own macro”.

The filters I referred to originally just mean that the my mpp files are not always saved in an unfiltered state. For example, it might be saved with a filter for incomplete tasks or saved with a filter for tasks that start/finish by a certain date. Since I have to post the complete schedule (all tasks visible regardless of open or closed) to the intranet, I often have to unfilter everything before I do my “save-as PDF”.

The macro I referred to originally was part of one less-than-optimal solution I’d been thinking of. I’m sure there is a 3rd party macro software somewhere that would record me opening each of the 30 files, unfiltering, and saving. However, this seems expensive and cumbersome. Perhaps you had a built-in MS Project macro function in mind?

Just for clarification, here is what I have to do each week with my 30 projects.

Open Project #1
Remove all filters
Save As PDF
Close the project.
Open Project #2
Repeat steps 2-4 a total of 29 times.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
