It is possible to insert this add-in in your custom tab.

Then, write on the first line of the document the name of the tab you want to insert the add-in panel in.

Additional Information
When you are about to print a lot of PDF using this app, it is advised to save your project before printing.
Depending on the size of the file you are exporting to PDF and the virtual printer you are using, it may take a few seconds before they appear on the output folder, even after the tasks are done in Revit.
Landscape page orientation is automatically chosen.
Zoom is automatically set to 100%.
Known Issues
You are not able to print in Grayscale or Black and White colors.
In this version, you cannot automatically collate the sheets you are printing.
It is strongly advised not to insert several title blocks in a sheet. In that case, the add-in might not work properly.
These options may be added in the next release of the add-in.
