The error says enough

Error: None plot device. Configure a valid device before plotting.

 

Just set a plot device where the dwg's can be send to so that it can be plotted

You can set a device if you start a new dwg --> go to plot --> add page setup and configure that page setup

Now when you go to publish remove all dwg's up there and add only your dwg's

now choose at page setup "import" and import the page setup you just made in the other dwg

If you have any question let us know

 

Regards

Don

Pagesetups are imported/found/saved in your template file(s): DWG like the last screen capture shows at the bottom of that popup or DWT (use that bottom entry Pulldown to change it).

but selected two drawings getting saved in single adobe pdf file and I want to make different pdf files for different dwg files.

That's a setting in the PUBLISH pop-up's OPTIONS button.
