Decent batch PDF plotter?

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Chris Wilkinson, Sep 20, 2007.

  1. Hi there,

    I'm after peoples recommendations for a decent PDF plotter. Currently
    using Bluebeam 5.5, installed as plugin on AutoCAD 2008. Pressing ctrl-p
    and selecting Bluebeam as plotter produce fine PDF's, but setting up
    a Bluebeam Page Layout to publish an entire sheetset, or using the
    Bluebeam 'Batch PDF' menu item produces junky PDF's with incorrectly
    rendered fonts. We have experimented with every setting we can find in
    Bluebeam administrator but nothing has fixed the batch/publish problem.

    We need a PDF plotter that can work with the sheetset publish dialog
    and produce quality PDF's without requiring naming of each PDF etc
    (existing filename.dwg will become filename.pdf, which is what we need).
    We have several sheetsets with 50-100 drawings each, and plotting PDF's
    one by one is tedious, to say the least... :-(

    Any recommendations?

    I don't use sheetsets but do batch plot .pdf's with AcroPlot. It will
    use the drawings existing page setup and can plot individual sheets to
    ..pdf in a batch or plot all sheets to one .pdf in a batch. I've been
    using it for some years and like it a lot.
