Export Multiple IDW to a Single PDF Drawing Set

[Nate.KurthUYTF3]

I am looking for a way to manage my IDW sheets better. I need to be able to Export assemblies to PDF's for different divisions. I also want to be able to export everything as a single PDF for a full drawing set. 

I have been making one 30 sheet IDW and selecting sheets to export but I want to make it a little more efficient. 

Is there a way to select multiple IDW files and export into a combined PDF. 

Or is there a way to have a sheet in one IDW linked to a sheet of another IDW (in other words have a master set with everything and create some other IDW that update based off the "Master")

Nothing in Inventor that I'm aware of..

Lots of external choices like simply using Adobe Acrobat to merge PDFs or itext or dynamic merge ,etc...

There is an ilogic rule on the ilogic forum to combine pdf files message 7 of the below link.

It may work for you depending on what pdf's you are using.

You could copy each sheet using ilogic from individual files into the master drawing. The drawback here is changing sheet numbers/ potential errors with formatting etc.
