To Export Selected Layouts to a PDF File- AUTOLISP PROGRAM

[Anonymous]

I need a program which should export all the layout views of a 3D model to a single pdf but i dont want its model view in it

My questions to you:

1. Why you want a AUTOLISP PROGRAM if you want to create a pdf with just selected layouts?

2. Select the tabs/layer, right click and choose ''Publish selected layouts", whats wrong for you with that way?

And

3. Are the layout pagesetup well set?

I have a large number of files for which i have to convert them to pdfs.

1. My dwg file consists of model, top view, front view and side view as its different layouts and its BOM.

2. For these files i do not need model view in the pdf.

Attach an example of your dwg file.
We need to see your title block.

You never have the model in your pdf, except you plot/export the model tab.

So you can use the way i described: PUBLISH

And you can do it for 100 files.

Start command PUBLISH, press [F1] and look some Videos on Youtube to

learn about PUBLISH.

For just creating PDF, if single page or multipage, publish is good.

Except if you want to publish an multipage-pdf for each of your DWG, then you need a program extension.

(the first important question then: In which order should be the layouts/pages in the multipage pdf?)

But...

You wrote "BOM", so i guess you are not talking about plain AutoCAD?

Which product, which command you are talking about really?

So, what is the challange now?

I tried this program but i want a multipage pdf, it prints seperate pdf

You don't need special code for this, as others have said.  AutoCAD is capable of doing what you want without any special customization.

So you want a multipage-pdf per file for a lot of files - Thats not so simple, sorry.

If you able to program an extension yourself.. we can talk about (which programming language ?)

Try 3.part programs like that -> https://anydwg.com/dwg2pdf/

This is an empty talk.
No sample file. Will we continue to guess?
Attach an example file.
