I AM RUNNING 2000. I HAVE A DRAWING FILE THAT HAS TWO LAYOUT TABS. I WOULD LIKE TO PRINT BOTH TABS INTO ONE PDF FILE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THIS IS POSSIBLE?

Adobe Acrobat (not Acrobat Reader) will allow you to insert pages into
an existing PDF. You'd open one page then insert the second.

Currently, I know of no way in AutoCAD to produce a multi-sheet document
with the exception of the Multi-Sheet DWF in 2004. You could then print
the DWF from Express Viewer to a PDF and get the multi-sheet PDF created
all on one shot to a single file. But being on 2000, this won't help
you.

It would be nice if AutoCAD supported this type of situation which would
then allow you to do things like duplex printing from AutoCAD without
having to generate a multi-sheet DWF and print that instead. Or combine
several single sheet PDF's and combine them then print those.

I recently had to print out about 1600 sheets and that was the route I
took. I printed individual PDF's, combined them into a single PDF
document, then used duplex printing to print on both sides of the paper
and use only 800 sheets (printed both sides) as opposed to 1600 sheets
(printed on one side).
