PDF - Opening - Option to open as dgn automatically

Mstn allows users to open pdfs directly. Also supports pdfs as Ref attachments. This is very useful. However, the pdf is opened in Mstn in read-only mode. The user will need to save as dgn and edit before printing the new content as a pdf.


It would be great to have a config var, option where the dgn is generated automatically... like the way V7 dgns are handled.

This would allow the user to use Mstn as a pdf editor for marking up and commenting w/o having a separate editor like Bluebeam or pdf-Xchange.
