Electroman7979 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Does anyone know of a way to print to PDF so that you end up with 1 PDF for all drawings instead of one PDF for each drawing in Electrical? Is it even possible? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder76 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 PUBLISHCOLLATE Controls whether sheets are published as a single job Publishing sheets as a single job requires all of the following: A plot or PDF driver that supports the multi-sheet plotting or printing option The page setup override option is selected, if publishing from the Sheet Set Manager. 0 A published sheet set is processed one sheet at a time. Separate PLT and PDF files are created for each sheet. If the sheet set is published, the sheets might be interleaved with other plot jobs. 1 A published sheet set is processed as a single job. A multi-sheet PLT or PDF file is created. If the sheet set is published, it is never interleaved with other plot jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 What are you using to create PDFs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electroman7979 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 What are you using to create PDFs? using the default pdf creator : DWG To PDF.pc3 just found pdf995. seems to work good combining, cept when I add them to be combined it puts them in alphabetical order, not the order of the schematics. But at least I'm getting them combined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Smith Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 ElecrtoMan, Are you using the Publish/Plot button in Project Manager? You can hit that button and choose Publish to DWF, then choose all your DWG's, then when the Publish window comes up, choose Publish to: and select PDF. Then go to the Publish Options button and be sure it is set for type: Multi Sheet File. I never let it do a publish in the background, it just does not seem to work.

Electroman7979 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I usually click on the project itself and click plot project, then select all drawings and print to pdf.... Just tried to plot to dwf. then print to pdf and it won't open the PDF after... maybe its adobe messing up. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
