Is PAC4SWX the best way to batch convert to PDF?

Is PAC4SWX the best way to batch convert to PDF?

Is PAC4SWX the best way to batch convert to PDF?

(OP)
I need to batch convert about 8,000 SWX drawings.  I downloaded
Bluebeam Push Button trial, but its very flakey and locks up my system.
 I also created my own macro that opens all drawings in a set directory
and does a "Save to PDF".  I downloaded PAC4SWX, and was very suprised
by how fast it converts files.  The quality is pretty good on the
output PDF.  What im trying to find out is what exactly is PAC4SWX
doing that makes it so fast?  Is it only opening the drawings
"View-Only" ?  I see an option for that in the main window, but I have
that unchecked.

If anyone can give me any comments/suggestions for batch converting to
PDF, that would be great.


ALSO, I created a seperate thread for this, but I also need to convert
about 8,000 Cadkey drawings (.PRT format).  Any suggestions on that
would be great.

Batch PDF Creator

Allows you to convert view-only as well.  But as with all view-only, if the drawing was not rebuilt correctly, your drawing may not convert properly.
