As-Built Printer

🧾 What is this?

As-Built Printer is a custom Python-based printing tool designed to automate and streamline the printing of technical documents in a structured, repeatable way — ideal for industrial or construction environments.

🧠 Why did I build this?

I imagined and developed this tool as a practical solution to meet the real operational needs of a company that deals with large volumes of structured PDF documents, such as:

• Manuals
• Technical sheets
• Certifications
• Assembly guides
• Guarantees
• Reports
• and more...

The traditional process of manually opening, sorting, and printing each file is repetitive and time-consuming.
This tool solves that by automating the printing logic and applying a predefined order to document types, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and speed.

⚙️ Key Features

• Automatically detects all required folders and files
• Supports multi-copy printing
• Silent printing using SumatraPDF
• Sorts documents logically (prioritizes numbered files)
• Handles exceptions like missing DUAO files
• User-friendly interface with printer preferences
• Includes custom branding and clickable credits

✅ Benefits

• Saves valuable time for employees
• Ensures uniformity in print sets
• Reduces human error
• Easily deployable as a single .exe file
• Simple and intuitive to use — no training required

💡 Notes

• Built with tkinter and compiled using pyinstaller with --onefile mode.
• The application icon is embedded into the .exe.
