PDF publishing of various files

Hello everyone,
I need to do the pdf printing of different dwg, each of which consists of a certain number of sheets.
I understand that the options offered by AutoCAD through the "public" command are two: either print each sheet individually (obtaining a different pdf for each sheet) or obtain a single file including all the sheets. What I need instead is to get more pdf files (one for each dwg), each of which must include only the sheets of that dwg. It's possible to do it?

Hi,

 

>> It's possible to do it?

You can use command _PUBLISH to include multiple files and multiple sheets/layouts.

But PUBLISH can only generate 1 PDF file per layout or x PDF files for x layouts (independent of the number of files you are publishing).

 

If you have 3 DWG files (with more than one layout) and want to have 3 PDF files then you need to start command _PUBLISH 3 times.

 

Sorry, I guess you wanted to hear something different 😉

Maybe someone will do it on a lisp.
I know the way with the additional program, but without opening the files it will not work, the program will automatically open, print and close the files.
Add an example of your title block file, I'll check it out.
