Batch PDF

(OP)
I searched and found some old threads that reference batch PDF's. None of the old links seem to work. I found a program that works well (Batch Print SW 2012) to convert all my drawings to PDF for emailing, but I am only able to use a trial for 30 days. Before I buy a license, is there any free options out there to convert my SW drawings to PDF? Whenever I do it in windows, one drawing will save as a PDF and the rest decide they should print out instead. This can be annoying if you print 200 docs by accident.

RE: Batch PDF

Do you use Enterprise PDM? There are ways to do this in PDM.

RE: Batch PDF

Have you checked into SW Task Scheduler (Start/SolidWorks/SolidWorks Tools/SW Task Scheduler) ?

I tried the task scheduler and had no luck. It said it completed the task, but the files were nowhere to be found.
