1. If checked, the PDF from the active drawing is automatically published and saved to the Output folder after saving the drawing.

2. Sets the output folder for PDF files. When empty, the PDF is created in the same location as the source drawing in a PDF subfolder. More can be found in Saving files using relative paths.

3. The PDF export options can be set here.

4. Choose the output PDF file options.

   • All sheets in 1 PDF - creates a single PDF for all sheets.

   • Per sheet PDF - creates a single PDF for each sheet.

5. The PDF file can be automatically opened after publishing.

For larger files, the publishing process may take a long time to complete. In such cases, it is not recommended to use automatic on-save publishing. To speed up your workflows, disable the on-save publishing in settings and use manual publishing instead.
