Can I plot multi-sheet in same the PDF file.
That depends on the PDF application you're using. We use Acrobat, and add additional sheets (and other features, such as security) after the plotting process. ___
You could also publish a multi-page dwf and print it from the Express Viewer to PDF [I believe] ___________________________ Mike Tuersley AutoCAD Clinic Rand IMAGINiT Technologies
Iam using Adobe Acrobat 5, but I don't want to insert each sheet in PDF file(the way use now), beacause some time I have more then 50 sheet . I would like AutoCAD make single file for each sheet I have in my DWG. Am use Acrobate PDFWriter
I use a program called AcroPlot Junior. This can plot to one PDF file based on your settings (I do all Paperspace Layout tabs). Their website is http://cadzation.com/acroplotauto_info.htm
If you are already creating the separate PDfs and you are able to save the full path names in an array, you can pass that array and the "combined file name" to the following sub(This requires you to reference the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 Type Library.): btw, We use Win2PDF printer from daneprairie.com to programmatically create the single PDF files. It's easy to name the files through VB code and it is only $30. Private Sub CombinePDFs(arrPdfFiles() As String, strFileName As String) Dim b As Boolean Dim AcroPDDoc As CAcroPDDoc Dim PDDoc As CAcroPDDoc Dim i As Integer Set AcroPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") Set PDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") b = AcroPDDoc.Open(arrPdfFiles(0)) b = AcroPDDoc.Save(1, strFileName) For i = LBound(arrPdfFiles) + 1 To UBound(arrPdfFiles) b = PDDoc.Open(arrPdfFiles(i)) b = AcroPDDoc.InsertPages(0, PDDoc, 0, 1, False) b = AcroPDDoc.Save(1, strFileName) b = PDDoc.Close Next i b = AcroPDDoc.Close End Sub Chris
do you mind sharing how you use it, I am trying to figure out a solution for our company and they were thinking in buying pushbutton, but it is expensive.
Just use dwf - its free, the viewer is free, and it'd take you less than a day to write the code for it - win-win and you look good to mgmt! ___________________________ Mike Tuersley AutoCAD Clinic Rand IMAGINiT Technologies
I apprecite the input, and I agree with you, but the mgt has taken a approach to go PDF as clients have PDF installed on their machines, and it is a less of a hassle for them to wor with PDF's. Also the repro house we have is setup to receive PDF's as well . so I have to find a solution for it. -- ------------------- Nauman M CAD Bazaar *********NEW********* Add AEC Objects to the Layers(lkey) you want, not the Layers ADT Wants!!

Cool! But I would still bring it up to your boss. If he isn't spending any money and both clients & repro house don't need to spend money, your boss can make it happen. Not bringing new inventive ideas to the table doesn't take your personal career far. ___________________________ Mike Tuersley AutoCAD Clinic Rand IMAGINiT Technologies
for someone who does not have Adobe Acrobat but only the reader. How can I write code to join PDF files ? Is there any other options ?
