    In creating pdf file, I use oversize A0 paper size for most of the drawings. Because of the space between the 'oversize' and 'A0', I could not use script to plot drawings to pdf format. Have tried and could not find a way to create a custom paper size with a paper size name without a space in between.
    Any idea is appreciated.

    Not sure why the naming of the sheet is stopping your scripting. I've used a
    custom PC3 file for acrobat that has a custom sheetsize as the default. Then
    i save my plot configurations into a pagesetup. Then use the batch plot
    utility to plot all the drawings i need & i reference that page setup for
    the plot configuration. It works great. I just batch plotted 104 (A1 size)
    drawings yesterday using autocad 2000i & acrobat 5. it took about 15
    minutes.

    How did you get this custom pc3 for acrobat that let you create a custom sheet size ? I have tried modify the acobat pc3 with a custom sheet size without success. The default sheet size other than a few such as 'letter', 'legal' ...., most of the large size name have a space in between, such 'arch E' , 'oversize A0'...... I guess you know that a space in script is like a keyboard 'return'. That would mess up the script.

    i created a PMP file and filtered out sheet sizes I didn't need and created
    a custom sheet size under the "custom properties" for the PC3. it works
    fine... a sample of your script might help with giving some other
    suggestions...

    Sorry JD, I have posted the same kind of topic at the 'customizing' group. There you can find out the script and my problems.
    Thanks again for your reply.

    Ben.
