Choose your PDMPublisher version
PDMPublisher uses one code base and is available in two versions.
PDMPublisher for PDM Professional
The PDM task add-in runs inside SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional. Administrators configure centralized publishing tasks that users can launch manually, from workflow transitions, or on a schedule.
- Automate vault-based export workflows.
- Process individual files, assemblies, and their references.
- Control output paths, filenames, conditions, annotations, and merged PDF packages.

PDMPublisher for SOLIDWORKS
The SOLIDWORKS add-in provides an interactive publishing workflow directly inside the SOLIDWORKS desktop application. It can also be used without SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional.
PDMPublisher for SOLIDWORKS is registered as a SOLIDWORKS Partner Solution add-in and appears under Partner Solution Add-Ins in the SOLIDWORKS Add-Ins dialog.
- Export directly from SOLIDWORKS.
- Configure options, annotations, conditions, and destinations interactively.
- Publish files to PDM, file servers, or other configured locations.
