Saving drawings to a pdf or creating a snapshot view of P&ID drawings feature

I am currently doing my thesis using AutoCAD plant 3D.  I have divided my P&ID into three seperate drawings due to space constraints and wanted to know if theres a feature to convert the drawings to a pdf instead of taking screenshots of the drawings as the qquality is poor and not very visible as I have to include this in my written section of my thesis. Additionally, is there a feature to combine all three drawings in a way? Like having them in one pdf or image of the three seperate drawings. This would be very helpful to know

You can use the publish option:

set to print as pdf (1)

choose your different drawings and whether you want to print the model space or the layout space (2)

publish (3)

in the settings you can choose to print as one multipage pdf and find other settings

Or use the regular PLOT command (ctrl+p)
set your printer (1) what to print (2) and other settings (3)
