Batch Plot Title Blocks in model space

I want a LISP that will batch plot selected title blocks in model space. I found THIS post that is similar to what I need but I can't get it to work for me plus there are a few other things I would like to add if possible. 

 

The post linked plots all of the title blocks in the drawing named "A1-" to PDFs which is kind of what I want. Depending on the title block, I need the sheet size and the plot window to change (not just max extents on block). 

 

I want to have the lisp only plots to PDF the selected blocks. I would also like it to work with multiple blocks not just one.  And lastly, I know this is asking a lot but if at all possible, a modular system either in the code or in some kind of options command you can specify block names and their window profile and sheet size to be used for each block. That way other people that see this post can use it for their purposes and for me in the future if anything changes I can update it. I've attached a sample .dwg with the title blocks and examples. Thanks.

I know how to use layouts. I already discussed this in post 10. 

 

That sample drawing is quite old and I modified them specifically for the sample drawing. The actual blocks have had some revisions that made some of them dynamic. 

 

Yes, Maratovich's routine would work, but is paid.

Not everything in life is free, do you get paid for your work ?

Of course. I'm not saying that is wrong to be paid, just that it doesn't mean I have to pay for it if I can find a free solution...
