I'd like to test print a number of things to PDF but don't want to have to babysit the process to figure out how long it takes. Although I unchecked the selection to 'Delete log files for successful jobs' to as to receive a log file, it doesn't give me any timing information. Is it possible to get this information?
 
Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about Distiller logs for the conversion of PS files to PDF or the printer log files for printing PDFs to a printer?

If you are talking about the PDF Maker macro, I know of no logging.

That's what I was afraid of, George. I am trying to print to PDF, so it looks like a no-go. But in talking with another colleague, I think we might be able to visually check the time at the start of the creation process, then pull the creation date from the resulting PDF - and the difference should show us the amount of time used to create the PDF.
