batch pdf conversion

(OP)
Hey anyone know how to convert a large group of drawing files to pdf without having to do each one separately?

RE: batch pdf conversion

You need a toolkit app.

Etrage, SoftwareFactory and Rand have them. Others may also.

RE: batch pdf conversion

tomcadd1,
It seems that there may be two parts to your question;

Are you asking for a utility to output .plt files for conversion to .pdf? or, are you looking for directions on how to use ProBatch to automatically open and print drawings?

In our office, we do both.  We have a custom utility that creates the .plt files, we also use ProBatch to automatically open and prepare all of our .plt files in preparation for converting to .pdf.  

Perhaps I can help?

Regards,

JW
