There's many times when a user must merge multiple sets from third parties, or modify sheets in Acrobat (or similar PDF tool). For instance, combining MEP, Structural, Civil, shop drawings, and so on with the Architectural set is very common. Or when clean vector PDFs need to be placed on the title block in Acrobat, and then merged into the Revit set. All of this sheet management must be done manually in Acrobat each time a set is generated. Having the ability to compile them in the Select Views/Sheets dialog box would be immensely useful. When the Revit drawings are exported to PDF, the last step would combine the resulting PDF file with other existing PDF files using the sheet order. There's no need to actually import or render the PDF in Revit. An ideal flow: Under the Select Views/Sheets export, add a button titled "Combine other files". Select PDF file. Choose "Select all pages" or filter specific pages with check boxes, or familiar Windows-style "1-10, 14-15, 17" printer settings formatting. Select OK, and adjust the print order within the Select Views/Sheets dialog box. Export the PDF. Resulting PDF file opens with Revit sheets along with imported PDFs.
