Docuflow PDF

Introduction

In the world of architectural design and construction, efficient document publishing is key to maintaining productivity. The Docuflow PDF plugin for Autodesk Revit offers a comprehensive solution that simplifies the process of generating high-quality documents. With the ability to publish PDF, DWG, DWF, DWFx, IFC, and drawing lists, Docuflow streamlines the entire workflow, saving valuable time and effort.

Streamlined Document Publishing

Docuflow brings together all of your documents in one operation, eliminating the need for manual selection, matching paper sizes, and separating print jobs. By simply selecting the desired sheets, Docuflow intelligently detects sheet sizes and orientation, taking care of all the complicated aspects of document publishing. The result is a seamless and efficient process that mirrors the sheets in Autodesk Revit.

Effortless Sheet Selection

Locating specific sheets within a project can often be time-consuming. Docuflow addresses this challenge by offering project revision sorting and search functionality. Sheets can be sorted alphabetically or by revision, simplifying the selection process. The ability to search by any text further enhances the ease of finding the desired sheets, making document publishing a breeze.

Comprehensive Drawing List

A proper drawing issue is incomplete without a revised drawing list. Docuflow seamlessly integrates with Archigrafix Reports to generate on-the-fly drawing lists in PDF format. This feature ensures that all the necessary information is included in your document set, enhancing clarity and organization.

Lightning-Fast Publishing

Docuflow is built from the ground up to deliver exceptional speed in document publishing. With no annoying saving dialogs or prompts for filenames, Docuflow publishes PDF files approximately 65% faster than other popular software, such as Bluebeam. This impressive speed ensures that your documents are generated quickly, allowing you to stay on schedule and meet deadlines.

Unbeatable PDF Printing

Docuflow combines Danish and Norwegian technology to offer an unparalleled PDF printing experience. The plugin efficiently prints PDF documents from your sheets, allowing you to choose between separate files for construction documentation or combining all your sheets into a single document. This flexibility ensures that you can adapt to the specific requirements of your project, ensuring convenience and ease of use.

Advanced Filename Rules

Docuflow provides extensive options for creating filename rules for PDF and DWG files. With support for sheet and project parameters, sheet shared parameters, date pages, and more, the possibilities are virtually unlimited. This feature enables precise control over how your documents are named and organized, enhancing overall document management and organization.

Automation for Further Flexibility

Docuflow goes beyond simple document publishing by offering automation capabilities. You can run tasks, batch files, or call any program before or after the publishing job, providing further flexibility and customization. For example, you can automatically upload your PDF files to an FTP server or connect with your document control software once the documents are created. This automation feature streamlines your workflow and allows you to focus on more critical tasks.

Paper Prints and Office Standards

Docuflow allows you to print your Revit sheets directly to your office printers, both small and large. By selecting the desired sheets and pressing publish, you can quickly generate paper copies for reviews, meetings, or archiving purposes. Additionally, BIM managers can easily configure the usage of office standards via the revit.ini file. This ensures that printing styles, PDF, DWG, and IFC standards are enforced consistently throughout the office, enhancing document consistency and compliance.

Rich Information and Model Location

Docuflow offers the ability to export project information and sheet parameters as PDF metadata. This feature makes the information readily available for Document Control, allowing it to be displayed in your PDF viewer or Windows Explorer. Furthermore, Docuflow stores the original Revit model location in a parameter visible in your PDF viewer, allowing you to locate the model directly from the exported PDF. These features not only enhance the quality of your documents but also save valuable time in locating specific information.

Licenses and Pricing

Docuflow is available in multiple licensing options, including floating, desktop perpetual, and desktop subscription licenses. The online purchase process is secure, utilizing a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on the Docuflow page. Payment is processed through the trusted partner, Paypal, with all major credit cards accepted. Please note that this app uses a custom installer, different from the standard App Store installer.
