PDM Gateway allows you to export drawings and SOLIDWORKS 3D files to PDF format.

The following cases can be handled by the export module:


  • Create "X" PDF files of "X" drawing files associated with a single assembly or part file.



  • Creation of "X" PDF files corresponding to the "X" sheets of the SOLIDWORKS drawing.
    • 1 PDF file for each sheet of the SOLIDWORKS plan.
    • The name of each PDF will be associated with the name of the plan file, according to the naming rule established by the PDM Gateway configuration.

Example with a plan containing 3 sheets :

Plan file approved at index C:        

Name of the plan = 020-Guidon complete.slddrw

List of PDF files created in the PLAN folder:

Name PDF sheet 1 = 020-Complete guide -01.Pdf

Name PDF sheet 2 = 020-Complete guide -02.Pdf

Name PDF sheet 3 = 020-Complete guide -03.Pdf


  • For 3D files it will be possible to create a file for all 3D documents or only for first level assemblies and orphan parts.

An option will allow to generate 3D PDF
