Converting multiple DWG files to PDF quickly

Hello everyone, I got a question that regards to converting multiple DWG files with multiple sheets into a multiple multiple sheet PDF files quickly. For instance, I have 65 technical drawings and I need to export them into a PDF file quickly without needing to open every each of them and export them to a PDF file. I had an idea to convert it by using a online converter but I don't really trust these websites and I don't want those drawing to be stuck somewhere in a database.

In advance, thank you.

I publish multi-sheet PDF files via the Sheet Set Manager. Using the pagesetup override option has worked best for me.

This can happen automatically:
1. Opens each file separately.
2. Creates a separate multi-page PDF for each file. The file will only contain Layouts from one file.

To do this, in the settings you need to select - Search in folder and specify all your files that need to be created as PDF.

P.S. Why are you marking as a solution something that you haven’t checked yet?
