Mass printing of plans in PDF format

Hi community,

My colleague came to me with a little glue!

He would like to print plans en masse in pdf format. But these plans do not all have to be printed on the same paper format.

Do you know if you can also use PowerPrint with pdfs?

And if not, do you have a tool or a trick to mass print pdfs? (I specify that the trick of changing the default printer is known, but between 2 formats, it forgot to change the settings!)

 

Thank you very much!

 

Fred

Hello

For PowerPrint, I don't think it does what you want to do, see the manual.

Otherwise, this subject has already been discussed, let's see if you find what you want:

Hello

What are your different formats to print? Are your A4 and A3 sizes on the same printer? 

We have opted for the manual sorting of the plans greater than a3 thanks to the preview of the pdfs. And then we drag the Pdfs of the A2-A1 and A0 into the plotter queue and the same thing for the A4-A3 on the photocopier. To do this, don't forget to check the option of choosing the paper according to the size of the sheet.

Power Print does not support PDFs, hence the second solution.

 

If you have on the same printer the A4 and the A3; when you have opened a PDF you can go to advanced file==>properties==>then you check the box "paper source according to page size" and there when printing it will be set by default and the tray will be chosen according to the outline format.

Hi all

 

So nothing very automatic.... It's a shame. I hope Visiativ looks at this forum a little and steals the idea of being able to print pdfs with PowerPrinf!!

Thank you very much for your answer and have a good day.
