Export and share a whole folder as one PDF

We love the new folders feature. Now let us get a folder out of DesignFiles as easily as we organize inside it.

Today, downloading a client presentation means picking boards one by one, or exporting the entire project when we only want part of it. Folders already hold the answer: I've grouped my boards into "Kitchen", "Primary Bath", "Living Room". Let me select a folder and get one clean PDF with all of its boards, in the order I arranged them.

What this would look like:

  • Export by folder. When downloading a presentation, choose one folder, several folders, or the whole project. One PDF per selection, boards in folder order.

  • Share a folder as a link or PDF. Send the client just the "Kitchen" folder for this week's review, or hand the contractor the full set for their scope. No more rebuilding partial presentations by hand.

  • Combine folders when needed. For final presentations we often want several folders stitched into one document, in the order we choose.

Why it matters: our projects now have dozens of boards organized into folders, and every client meeting starts with assembling a PDF of just the relevant part. Right now that assembly happens outside DesignFiles. The folder structure we already maintain should do that work for us.

    Exporting Presentations Per Folder

    When we go to download a client presentation (multiple design boards) we’d like to be able to select what folder to pick from instead of seeing all design boards in all of the folders. It’s overwhelming and confusing to see everything at the same time.

      PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!
      I am trying to print PDFs for a client, and I cannot do it by Folder. And when I go to select images, omg, it’s a flipping nightmare because of how many slides I have to choose from (in teeny tiny print, i might add). I miss the days when I could select print pdf’s from the individual slides, as well….

    Make it EASIER to share PDFs

    I want to be able to send a PDF of a whole Folder, say one I’ve titled Kitchen, and inside are all the Kitchen boards (plans, elevations, plumbing, materials, renderings, etc).

    Currently, my only option to create a PDF pulls up ALL the boards and I have to click the ones I want to send. But when all the boards are pulled up, I can no longer see the title of each slide, and I end up guessing which boards I want to send. I don’t have a number sequence or title to work with, jus the thumbnail of the board itself.

    Here’s a screenshot of a project with multiple Folders, but when I send PDF’s the whole project is featured, but without any board titles to help me edit.


    Also, I really miss being able to send a single PDF from an individual board. This feature is sadly missed.
