Multi drawing printing "Batch Print" within PDFTron

The current version of v2019 Meridian Enterprise and the PDFTron viewer, does not have the built in functionality to select a group of drawings from the (Explorer Client – Document View) search results and submit the selected drawings to the local printer as a batch print job. PDFTron is only capable of printing single documents from the print icon from the viewer.

This functionality should be seriously considered with any future upgrades to PDFTron.

We are currently running Meridian Enterprise (2016), AutoVue handles this very nicely with the “Draft Print” selection. We have over 1500 users that use this option to print daily.

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    A similar idea has been suggested for one of the Meridian clients, the Power client.

    MER-I-160: Enable (batch) draftprint from Power Webclient

    Development will combine both Ideas and consider batch draft printing for both Power and Explorer clients.
