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.
