PDF Creator

Hello

We use PDF Creator to make our PDFs on Solidworks.

The file name automatically appears in the box, but it is followed by the sheet name (sheet1).

Do we have the possibility to leave only the name?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello

Why not use SW's PDF directly?

What prevents you from removing the extra part in the name?

Hello

To my knowledge it will not be possible in automatic. I'll look for it anyway.

It seems to me that if you select only the active page you don't have the page notations

and if you select page 1,2,3 your sheet 1,2,3

To be confirmed 

and nothing prevents you from renaming it

Hello

Yes, you can, there are two solutions (that I know), either you remove the number from the sheet by hand each time, for each record.

Either you save in Pdf from Solidworks (Save As=> Pdf)

Apart from that, I don't see any solutions... Would it be a bit silly to create a macro just for that^^

We created a small macro to do this automatically but impossible to delete this "sheet1" other than manually.

So if you use a macro, the option mentioned to save as a pdf from SW seems more interesting to me.

Never have multiple folios?

According to this link:

https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/46567

This is not possible using PDFCreator without a macro, so they recommend using the "save-as" function as @Coyote said.
