How to convert files to pdf except ProPDFExport

Creating a function to convert drawing files into pdf collectively.


Currently, we are processing using the ProPDFExport() function, which I understand is only possible if the model is loaded on the graphic screen.


If the number of files that need to be converted increases, we are worried that the program will be burdened.


Is there any other function or method to replace this problem?

If you are just converting files and already have the functionality programmed for the task, why don't you just free up the memory after a file is converted?

(1) Read a model into session.

(2) Perform the PDF creation.

(3) Erase the model from session.

(4) Repeat for each model.

Can't you use the batch functionality to convert a lot of files to PDF?
I've made a YouTube video about that:
