Text part in ArchiCAD => i.e. reload ALL PDF pages into drawings (incl. dynamic amount of pages)

Use case:

As an Architect...

I want to publish the text part of the documentation into BIMx in an automated workflow without necessity to check relations after chante in text part...

so that everyone can access the complete documentation without errors effortlessly.

 

Problem:

The text part of the documentation is typically processed in MS Word and exported as a PDF. While there are ways to load specific pages or all pages into an Archicad drawing—such as automatically placing each PDF page into a separate drawing—this workflow has a major drawback.

 

Whenever a change is made in Word, pagination can shift, new pages may appear, and existing ones may be removed. This requires the user to manually check the number of pages in the updated PDF and then adjust the corresponding drawings in Archicad—either by adding a new drawing for a new page or deleting one for a removed page. This is not an automated process and unnecessarily consumes time and attention.

 

Request:

Developers, please implement an automated solution that eliminates the need for users to manually track pagination changes. Let us focus on complex tasks instead of wasting time on trivial ones.
