Batch printing using SW viewer

    I know there are a lot of batch printing programs out there, but they all
    relay on SW to be installed.

    Now one of our clients is constantly sending native SW parts, asms and
    drawing, forcing use to either use the legal SW viewer of to find an illegal
    version of SW (As SW is not our main CAD program).

    So the question is whether there are batch printing programs out there, able
    to us the SW viewer instead of the full SW package.

    The purpose is to print to PDF, using (multiple) PDF converters/printing
    programs.

    Marc, its a lot simpler than you think. If the installation has the
    SWX viewer only installed just highlight the SWX documents that you
    wish to print in Windows Explorer, RMB and click print. This will
    print the documents to your default system printer using SWX viewer.
    If you have an inastallation with both SWX viewer and SWX full version
    make sure the viewer was the last application open. If you dont do
    this it will still print the documents but will use the full SWX
    application (and all the rebuilds) to print.

    Cheers

    We currently don't have a full version and probably will not have in the
    comming time.
    The problem with the RMB option is that the printing is not addapting to the
    paper size / orientation.
    Opening all the filles (per project +/- 500 - 750 files) and printing them
    one by one is no optio either - Can't find the time / resources nor the
    idioot willing to do.

    So I was basicly looking for a batch program not only capable of printing
    the drafts, but setting the right paper size and oriantation as well.
