Need to Batch Print to PDF, where do I begin?

Anonymous — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:34:19 GMT

Need some help getting started here.

Is the command "exportPDF" and various options available in .NET or VB.Interop?

Goal: To batch print (publish) drawings from our master database so we always have PDF's on hand in our shared drive.

I'm using Autocad 2011 with the included PDF feature.

Here's a good place to start: http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2007/09/driving-a-multi.html

Cover multisheet plotting. Setting your pc3 file, etc.

Mike, a variation of this question: I'm using the FDOT State Kit 2012. All my Page Setups are from the FDOT Master .dwt, with FDOTPostScript.pc3 and the FDOT.stb Plot Style Table. I'm not using Sheet Set Organizer, I just Publish to Plotter from Sheet Set Manager in C3D and convert all the postscripts to .pdf's. When I do this, they plot perfectly and to scale. However, if I try to Publish to PDF or DWFx, I get the origin offset shown in the attached .pdf. Is there a way to fix this?
