Batch plot to pdf in 2007

[andrew239]

Hello there,

I am new to the batch plot environment, and am having some problems in batch plotting pdfs as single sheets.

In a single drawing i can select all of the layouts, and publish them as single sheet pdf's using the single sheet output option in the publish options dialogue box.

The problem comes when I try to do this using a sheet set of layouts from various drawings. Even when the single sheet option is used, it still prints all of the layouts in a sinle pdf with multiple pages.

As far as I can tell, the publishcollate command is not available in autocad 2007. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

I"m pretty sure the Sheet Set option assumes you want it all in one document. I used to use that at work a lot with Acad 2007.

 

The only place I can find a single page per doc option is in DWF publishing. But then my LT 2009 does not have sheet sets, and I don't "Work" any more.

Thanks for your response Dana, i thought that was the case, just wanted to be sure i wasnt missing something.

We started using a program called BlueBeam to avoid issues with plotting documents with several HUGE images and it works like a dream. The user has 11 different file format options to choose from.
