Sheet Set Workflow? (PDF'ing a sheet set)

[GreeneSWCD]

I know there has to be a better way than I'm doing this...

Right now, I make all my sheets in separate layout tabs.  Then, I plot each layout to pdf (all my plans are pdf'd in order to email to a different office in order to be checked and approved before printing).  Then, I take all the pdf's and combine them with Adobe.  This process of plotting each layout to pdf is time consuming.  I hope this process is sped up with some pending RAM, but until then, how "should" I be doing this process?  My plans are running about 12 sheets each, if this matters.  I'd love to be able to collectively plot to pdf once for all the sheets at the same time.  That would really help. 

I'm using 2012 Civil 3d.  

Any takers?

Here is how I do it ... If you have a Sheet Set, right click the project name in Sheet Set Manager, Publish, Publish Dialog Box. From here you can highlight all the sheets in the list, select the Page Setup you want to plot to, and usually change the "Publish to" dropdown to "Plotter named in page setup". You can check the box for "Publish in background" and it will plot them all in the background while you continue to work on other drawings. If all is set up correctly it will print all your sheets to a single PDF file. You may need to customize the Page Setups and reference the help files the first couple times, but it's a huge timesaver.
