let me reshare the code i have tried to edit but it's not working 
i just want to export layers separately to pdf file.

but i did not be able to find .lisp for "layer to PDF" some how i got .lisp for  "layer to DWG"

here is the code i'm trying to make Layer to pdf .lisp

 

ExportLayersTOPDF (1).lsp

 

 

but when i run this in autocad it's giving error  I mean it's not working

[SLW210]

What exactly is the error?

 

You could run the "Layers to DWG" LISP and then batch plot them to PDFs.

Quick look it does not seem to have turn layers on off ?

 

(setvar 'clayer layname)

(command "-layer" "off" "*" "N" "")

plot............

(command "-layer" "on" "*"  "")
