Loading Multi Page PDFs

When loading new drawings into a drawing set, you can either load a JPEG or a PDF. There is also the  option to load multiple pages from a PDF. 

Loading your PDF 

Go to the ‘Drawing Sets’ tab in the hub, click on the green “Add Drawing” dropdown to select the ‘Load multiple pages from PDF’ option. 



Drag and drop PDF file or select one.



Once your PDF pages are loaded, you can choose which pages you want to keep or discard, as well as giving them unique names. 




NOTE: If you want the names of your drawings to have a space in between them (e.g Floor 02 ELEC as opposed to Floor02ELEC), make sure to press the space key after the Prefix and a space before typing the suffix.


Once you’ve edited and selected your chosen pages, click on ‘Create drawings’. Your drawings will then be loaded.

 

Once complete, they will appear under your drawing sets. Done!

 

Automatic naming feature 

If your multi page PDF has named bookmarks for each page, then when the PDF is loaded into a new drawing set, each page will automatically be named in the Hub as per the name on the PDF bookmark. 


Below is a screengrab of Adobe reader, showing the bookmark page names… 



And how the bookmark page names show once you load the PDF into the hub…
