Batch Print PDF files from Inventor drawings - various sheet sizes

danny — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 10:45:23 GMT

Looking for a solution to batch print PDF files from Inventor dwg files (got over 750+ drawings) in a timely manner.

Drawing sheet sizes are A3, A2 & A1 in no particular order.

Is there any apps/programs out there that can identify drawing sheet size and print PDF to correct size and do them all in one hit?

Wish list feature also to add suffix in PDF file name ie. rev A

Cheers

Kind Regards

Danny

Hi Danny,

There might be apps on Inventor App store doing that. Another quick approach is to set the system default printing device to Print to PDF. Then use Task Scheduler and create a Print task. The task will print the drawing files to PDF files. Have you tried that?

Many thanks!

Hi Johnson

Good Morning

Thanks for your reply

I was after a bit more functionality like adding a suffix in electronic file file & automatically adding sheet numbers.

There are a couple of useful apps online I found, cheers

Kind Regards

Danny

@danny

Do you have Vault Professional? The Plot button may do what you are asking. It at lease works for us on A and B size paper. If you grab a bunch of .idw's it will print on the appropriate sized paper.

Hi Danny,

Batch Print & Export Pro does exactly what you need —
batch export multiple Inventor drawings to PDF in one
operation.

Key features relevant to your situation:
- Handles 750+ drawing files in one batch run
- Mixed sheet sizes (A1, A2, A3) handled automatically
based on each drawing's defined sheet size — no manual
configuration needed
- Export all sheets or specific sheet ranges
- Vector resolution control (up to 800 DPI)
- All colors as black option for professional documentation
- Physical print and DXF export also available in the
same operation

Here is a quick preview of the interface:

Currently under review on the Autodesk App Store and
will be available very soon with a 7-day free trial.

I will post the App Store link here once it goes live.

Regarding your wish list item — adding revision suffix
to filenames is a great suggestion and something I will
look at adding in a future update.

Kind regards
