Plotting

[Scott44]

I'm not sure if this even belongs in an autocad forum. We create PDFs a lot from our cad drawings. And we receive them a lot too. We have an oce printer. some plot director thing to batch plot tiffs to the oce. Cad drawings can always be batch ploted. But the pdfs. I have to print 50 files one by one. This is time consuming. Is there a way to send pdfs all at once and save a ton of time?? Thanks for any feedback

I had this program (http://www.print-conductor.com/) bookmarked which is supposed to do what you are looking for. I can't vouch for it though...I've never actually used it.

Personally, I use Acrobat Pro to make one mutli-page pdf that can be printed when I'm in that situation.
Good luck.

I've heard the full version of pdf works like that. Put them all together and send once. Unfortunately all we have is the frickin reader...Is that program you linked free?

According to the website, yes.

Version 1.4 (August 14, 2007) of PrintConductor is free for use.

Wow. I just tried that program and it seems to work great. It opens the files one by one and prints them.. You can just sit back while it happens. I only tried it with 5. lets see how it holds up when it gets 50.....Thanks for the link
