# PDF

## Inventor and InventorServer
When opening the following 2D drawing formats in <img src="/img/jobprocessor/inventor.png" width="15px"> Inventor or <img src="/img/jobprocessor/inventorserver.png" width="15px"> InventorServer, *.pdf* files can be created for them (via the [TranslatorAddin](<jobprocessor/code_reference/cmdlets/export-document:translatoraddin>)):
* Inventor IDW
* Inventor DWG
* AutoCAD DWG

The used *"Tranlsator: PDF - Addin"* also supports generating pdf files out of 3D documents **but without any settings**:
* Inventor IAM
* Inventor IPT
* Inventor IPN

### Configuration

To enable **multisheet- or singlesheet PDF** generation, the `Publish_All_Sheets` flag can be turned on or off.\
Additionally you have to change the value of `Sheet_Range` to 14082, since this is the value for printing all Sheets, instead of the current sheet.

As **Print range** you can specify if the **current sheet**, **all sheets** or **a range of sheets** should be exported. You have to set the `Sheet_Range` setting to the respective value.

| Value | Description                                      |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| 14082 | Print all Sheets of the Drawing.                 |
| 14081 | Print the current Sheet in the Drawing.          |
| 14083 | A sheet range allows to export only the sheets specified in a specifc range.<br>Specify the starting sheet page via `Custom_Begin_Sheet` and the end page via `Custom_End_Sheet` |

The `Publish_Mode` defines what of your document will be exported to the PDF. Per default it is set to print your **selected data**.


| Value | Description                                                           |
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 62721 | Only the current view and the state of the document will be published |
| 62722 | The full context of the current document will be published            |
| 62723 | Only the selected data will be published

## DWG TrueView
DWG files (AutoCAD and Inventor) can be opened in <img src="/img/jobprocessor/dwg_trueview.png" width="15px"> DWG TrueView and [converted](<jobprocessor/code_reference/cmdlets/export-document:trueview>) to *.pdf* (or *.dwf, .dwfx*).

(jobprocessor/code_reference/cmdlets/export-document/pdf:dwg-trueview-configuration)=
### Configuration

DWG TrueView creates a ".dsd" file that contains the export settings (unlike Inventor-exports there are no ".ini" files).

These settings are read from the **page settings** of the dwg file. Per default *powerJobs\\Modules\\Export\\PDF.dwg* is used.\
With the [](</jobprocessor/code_reference/cmdlets/export-document>) cmdlet you have two ways to manipulate the result of the export:

* Using the default **page setup of the source drawing:**

  When no configuration file is specified, the default page setup from the dwg file itself will be used.

* Using the **page setup of a specified drawing:**

  A configuration file can be specified in the *-Options* parameter. Files of type ".dwg", ".dws", ".dwt" or ".dxf" can be used.\
When doing so DWG TrueView will look for a page setup named "*AutoloaderModelSetup*" for **model space** configuration and "*AutoloaderLayoutSetup*" for **layout space** configuration.\
  They will be converted into a ".dsd" file and used as settings for the export.

  Example:

  ```{code-block} PowerShell
  :linenos:

  Export-Document -format PDF -To C:\Temp\Test.pdf -Options "$($env:POWERJOBS_MODULESDIR)Export\PDF.dwg"
  ```


In order to manipulate the **DSD file** the settings below can be applied by setting them in the Export Options.\
Example:

```{code-block} PowerShell
:linenos:

Export-Document -format PDF -To C:\Temp\Test.pdf -Options @{'Type'='6'}
```

The `Type` setting allows to specify how and which format should be exported:

| Value | Description                                                 |
| ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 0     | Export SingleSheet(s) DWF                                                  |
| 1     | Export MultiSheet DWF                                                      |
| 2     | Export PlotterPageSetup, plotter named in Page Settings is used for export |
| 3     | Export SingleSheet(s) DWFx                                                 |
| 4     | Export MultiSheet DWFx                                                     |
| 5     | Export SingleSheet(s) PDF                                                  |
| 6     | Export MultiSheet PDF                                                      |
