Publishing a Batch PDF Without Layer Information Using a Sheet Set Overide

[Pilotrav22]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to create a sheet set overide that allows you to produce a multiple page pdf and not have the layer information included?

I have turned off the "include layer information" in the sheet set publish options and on the "dwg to pdf" and "adobe pdf"  print settings and I still get layers in my pdf.

What is really odd is that if I use the same override on just a single layout the layers are not included in the pdf.

Is this possibly just a bug in the software?

I would like AutoDesk to address this issue - it's been going on for years. I have tried every-which-way to turn off the layer information and it's still there when I publish through the sheet set manager. I can't get the rest of my team on board with this feature with such a huge bug.  Who can we pay off to get this fixed?

Report it to Autodesk, posting here is not the process:

and if you are on subscription, do so there too please.

Thanks!

I've put in the bug-squashing issue request.  I hope someone goes after it soon!

Thanks to AutoDesk for answering my question in an email! Here's what they said:

Ask the user to  Expand the PLOT drop down button on the Sheet set manager and select > Publish Dialog Box Or Right click on the Sheet set > Publish > Publish dialog box

Once the Publish dialog is open > Select PDF from the Publish to Combo > Select " Sheet set Publish Options" button selected from drop-down list > Select "Don't Include" under layer information settings > Ok > Publish

She should not see the layers getting published in this case.

To check it, the PDF option should be chosen in both the "Publish to:" list and in the "Sheet Set Publish Options" with the "Type: Multi-sheet file" chosen change the Layer Information choice to "Don't Include." or it will not work.

The above post didn’t resolve my question.

However, it did point me into the right direction. My question is removing the layer information when publishing from Sheetset Manager via the short-cut menu. (highlight file(s) right-click> publish> publish to pdf) After reading the above post I discovered the following instructions for this approach.

Instruction:

With the Sheetset palette open, highlight and right-click the sheetset Project Name (located under the Sheets header ). From the (right-click) short-cut menu select Publish followed by Sheet Set Publish Options. The Sheet Set Publish Options opens. Under General DWF/PDF options select “don’t include” next to Layer information. Click Ok.
