Print PDF and rename the files

Revit
,
6

Is it by chance a archilab node? I can remember having some trouble getting that one to work myself so I wrote my own.

If you’re interested, see the code below.
I’m not sure if it exactly does what you want it to do, but it might help you find a solution to the problem.
I think that you should be able to make some small modifications to my code to have it so it takes a list of names and uses shortlacing to set the right name for your drawings. This would prevent having to rename them afterwards.
