Hello all,

 ![PDF%26RENAME](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/c/5cfcaaadfb198a1ce211f68b450b5df6b33bb944.png)  
Just a newbie in Dynamo and have been working on creating useful scripts/nodes  

> **[printing PDFs w/ dynamo](https://archi-lab.net/printing-pdfs-w-dynamo/)**
>
> Some time ago I have spotted this post by Sol Armor at DynamoBIM forum, asking about printing PDFs out of Dynamo and I was a little sad that we didn’t already have any tools for that. Recentl…

Followed other topics, however I am having trouble fixing the error I am receiving (see below).  
Currently using PDFCreator and have set it up to automatically save to the same folder without interrupting me.

 ![PDF%26RENAME_issue](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/9/696a9c6371d7111d9ad2f2682a173d24ec7e0491.png)

Prints to PDF just fine.  
I have adjusted Rename PDF to include the for Indentifiers & NewNames.

Is there a fix to:  
‘WindowsError: [Errno 17] [Errno 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists.’  
I see the first file is renamed however it ends there.

Would appreciate any help in the matter.

Hi @jaYc29,

You have probably a problem with the order of operations.  
Use the passthrough node from clockwork to wait until the print of PDF is finished.

Thanks @Alban_de_Chasteigner i figured this to be the case, thank you for narrowing down the node to use.  
Much appreciated.

HI! I am getting the same error here but I have the Print part and the Rename files as separate steps so that shouldn’t be my problem. Any clues what I am doing wrong?
