Hi Ravi,

What are we trying to achieve with the script? Isn’t there already option to print combined pdf in built with Revit?

Hi @Sujan

Yes It is available in Revit , but we can only print one sheet set at a time, I would like to achieve to print multiple sheet sets and output of each sheet sets as combined pdf seperatly.

I am looking forward your suggestion

Regards  
Ravi

Hey Ravi,

In the error it says it is expecting “string” but getting “List”. Try changing the List Level here

@Sujan is right - You can’t name a combined PDF the name of all the sheets, of if you do it will do _(Number of Sheets)²_ pages across _Number of Sheets_ files.

The node is quite out of date - use _Export PDF_ from Genius Loci if you are on Revit 2022+
