Trouble plotting DWFs from older files

    I have a bunch of files created in Acad 2002 that I am trying to run through
    the Publish command in Acad 2005 in order to make DWFs of each sheet.
    The files do not have individual Page Setups for plotting a DWF, but I was
    hoping that I could import a Page Seup to use for all sheets - this is how I
    did it in the Acad 2002 Batch Plot utility. I don't have a lot of
    experience with the 2005 Publish command.

    When I add the files to the Publish dialog box, I can import a Page Setup
    that I have used previously - The Page Setup uses the PublishToWeb DWF.pc3
    as the plotter. "Publish to" is set to DWF File.

    I hit Publish, and it goes through some motions in the background then
    returns with the following errors in the log.

    Job: - Error(s) Did Not Plot

    I hope I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance for any help.

    there is no PublishToWeb DWF.pc3 in 2005

    you would have to recreate the pagesetup to use DWF ePlot.pc3
