Publishing to Acrobat 6.0 - No Layout names?

I am currently running AutoCAD 2005 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0. If I attempt to publish multiple sheets (or plot even one sheet for that matter) the PDF filename doesn't include the layout name. In previous versions of AutoCAD when I would plot a sheet to pdf, the pdf filename will end with the layout that was plotted.
Example - mydrawing layout1.dwg, mydrawing layout2.dwg, mydrawing layout3.dwg
I have recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2004 and Acrobat 5.0 and my plotting is not working like it used to. (Since I have upgraded both programs, I don't know which is to blame for the issue.)
What I do know is that if I attempt to plot/publish to DWF, the layout is included in the filename. If I switch my plotter to Adobe PDF, the layout is dropped from the filename.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
This will REALLY make things difficult when plotting a drawing with 17 layouts to PDF if I have to manually add a suffix to every pdf filename such that it won't overwrite the previous pdf.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

They probably did it that way assuming that most people didn't want
the -Layout1 or -Model(1) added on. I'm surprised that if you are printing
directly to the Adobe PDF Writer that it does that though because that would
mean that they would have to be filtering off the -Layout1 from the name
that AutoCAD passes in the print process. My Adobe isn't working right now
from 2005 but you might want to try naming the layout something like Test1
or Test1- and see if that fools Acrobat so it doesn't remove it.

If you really want to make your life easy try our AcroPlot line of products
(www.cadzation.com) which were specifically designed to create PDF files
from AutoCAD. Our times are usually faster, quality better, and file sizes
smaller. Plus we support things like the Lines Merge and also taking
multiple drawings and multiple layouts and putting them into 1 single PDF
complete with bookmarks and everything.

If you do try it to get individual PDF files with the -Layout tacked on the
end change the Convert To setting in the upper right to "Individual PDF for
each layout". Otherwise the other settings assume that you are merging
multiple layouts into 1 PDF and use just the drawing name.
