Easy PDF Print

From the Autodesk App Store:

In most of the projects, you need to export multiple sheets to pdf and the output file name for each sheet should follow a naming convention. In practice, this is very time consuming and increases the likelihood of errors.

Also, the paper size and orientation of the output files may vary for different sheets, so it will take a long time to adjust them manually in large projects.

This plugin does the above for you easily. You could use the following pdf print drivers:
  • Adobe PDF
  • novaPDF
  • Microsoft Print to PDF
  • PDFCreator
  • PDF24
  • Bullzip PDF Printer

In the next revisions, other pdf drivers may be added.

It is recommended to set the preferences of the selected PDF driver from "Printers & scanners" in the Windows setting before using it inside the plugin, e.g. the output path.

For PDFCreator, PDF24, and Bullzip PDF Printer, you could change preferences by using their settings application.

For PDFCreator and Bullzip PDF Printer file naming process doesn't work properly, because of their built-in settings.
