PublishWave Overview Details
Adept PublishWave is an add-on for Adept that enables you to print or publish documents directly from the Adept desktop or web client. You can generate high-fidelity output in formats such as PDF, TIF, DXF (AutoCAD), and Parasolid (SOLIDWORKS) without opening the native application.
This integration helps ensure accurate information is shared across departments, contractors, customers, and vendors—supporting controlled, consistent output from within Adept.
Key Capabilities
Native Output Quality
You can produce print-ready or published files using the native application’s output engine, ensuring fidelity without launching the original software.
Broad Format Support
PublishWave supports output for:
AutoCAD (PDF, TIF, DXF)
SOLIDWORKS (PDF, TIF, Parasolid)
Inventor 2D (PDF, TIF)
MicroStation (PDF)
Microsoft Word and Excel (PDF, TIF)

Efficient Job Handling
Large print jobs are processed on a dedicated workstation, freeing up your desktop and eliminating the need for individual CAD licenses.
Automated Publishing & Printing
You can configure PublishWave to automate output when a document is checked in or approved. This ensures the latest version is available to downstream consumers.
Output Triggers

Command-based: Automate output during check-in or approval
Adept Web client supports command-based submission only.

Merge multiple documents into a single PDF. If checked back into Adept using PublishToAdept, metadata is automatically populated.
Conditional Publishing
Configure rules based on file extension or metadata values to control which files are processed.
Standardized Output
Pre-configure AutoCAD Page Setups and MicroStation Print Styles to enforce consistent settings like paper size, scale, and pen weights.
Flexible Destination Options
You can publish files to:
Adept Libraries
Network folders
FTP sites
This supports integration with external systems or sharing with non-Adept users.

PublishWave allows simultaneous output to:
Multiple folders

Watermarking: Apply status labels (e.g., “Under Revision,” “Released”) to support compliance
Audit Logging: Track all output activity, including user, time, and method
Notifications: Receive email alerts on job completion or failure
Saved Jobs: Store and reuse common print configurations
