Search for the threads on the form dealing with batch printing. Most will expect you to use different plotters but can generally handle custom file naming. Dynamo cannot override the behavior of a regular print, instead you would need to initiate/run the print _using Dynamo_.

For example:

>
> I am trying to batch print to pdf with several .rvt files in a folder. I collected the filepaths and made it a list for the ‘filepaths’ input and chose the views to get. Somehow I keep getting the null value when I try to run the script. Printing a single file seems to work but I can’t get this (multiple formats) to work.

Noting this is not a workflow I’d suggest you begin with if you are 100% new to Dynamo. Better to work your way up to it via the fundamentals such as via the Dynamo Primer.
