public function in pdf

[MBT]

Hello everyone
I found various discussions that talk about printing in pdf but none answering my problem
explanation. . .
some hundreds of drawings I want to make pdf
I use the publish command, since I have prepared a pc3 printer suitable for purpose.
to make pdf use pdfcreator, which is free.
launch the publication and in fact autocad does its work
but at the end I am with the pdfcreator spooler loaded with drawings that I have to save myself by hand, attributing the name.
Is there someone who knows how to solve this boring problem?
Can I somehow publish and find all the files in pdf without having to save me by hand?? ? ?

thanks for the help

I don't know the publication. I use a script. it opens the file, makes it a zoom extension, print in pdf and assigns the name. then opens the next file.

The script is generated by a small program that takes the file list in input, but you can do it by hand too easily.

If it is a problem with which you often fight, you should try to automate in that sense, otherwise if one tantum, you should find an alternative method.

publish does more or less what a script can do.
gil from a drawing list and how to print them. . .
He arranges.
to print on paper is priceless. Throw it, go make yourself 2 coffee and when you come back you have a package of printed drawings
But I can't get him to run a name assignment to a pdf file.
You said you had a script. Can you pass it??? or is this "classified" stuff from our common friends?

 

[Fulvio Romano]

the program that generates it is "classified", but the script...dai!

_open "nomedelfileconcomplete"
_attext
or
_all

adobe pdf.pc3

the code is for Italian autocad, you have to "translate" it for English. then, you have to change the printer name, table pens ctb, scale etc.
Finally, replicate it for each file. it takes a while to tame it the first time (depending on the version of autocad), but then straight row.

Okay, this goes in a button, and something like that I already have.

I use this...

^c^c-plot;y;;pdf.pc3;a1;m;l;y;e;f;c;y;stampa.ctb;y;n;n;n;n;n;y;close;

but at the end of the day, I should still use publish, especially if I have so many files.

The next question is:
How do you convince the print spooler to generate files?
my button works, but puts everything in the pdf printer tail, which in my case is pdfcreator.
from there I have to send myself to save every single file.... that I wanted to avoid!

 

[Fulvio Romano]

ahh....maybe I now understood...the problem would lead to being the pfd creator who asks for the file name twice.
Have you tried pdf995 (freeware) or an adobe writer (furbo... but only for proof)?

to make pdf use pdfcreator, which is free.
thanks for the help

test bullzip pdf printer http://www.bullzip.com/download.php, it is free as well that, it convives without problems with pdfcreator but in my opinion it is more "friendly", I normally use it to "print" more doc at a time and it works well; it is simple then set rules for the appointment of outgoing files.
You have to see if you agree with the Publish command you use.

Bye.

can be a solution. . .
I try
Thank you

sometimes they come back... to break my souls with this problem
I can't handle this.
the various softwre print on pdf make me all the same problem. work in itself, but if I use the public command they generate a single pdf with all prints, instead of n files...

Incidentally... but am I the only one to have the need to print in pdf a tide of files?

but in the publishing options imposed in "type" il "single sheet file"?

I tried to change it, but without result. It obviously works only for dwf:frown:

tested now with pdf.
works perfectly, producing single files.
always in the public window in "public on" imposed on him the "plotter defined in print settings" or "pdf"?
maybe you set a specific pdf printer in the layout and in this case you do not "interpret" that single sheet setting set in the "publishing options".

what pdf generator do you use?

I put "plotter named in page setup"
the other option is "dwf format", with two variants of dwf.
Incidentally, it is autocad mechanical 2009

maybe you set a specific pdf printer in the layout and in this case you do not "interpret" that single sheet setting set in the "publishing options".

I have a dwg file that I use to import print configurations, with inside printers that I usually use , including also pdf.
but in the various options I find nothing that determines a single sheet or multiple sheets.

 

[PlannerRoad]

what pdf generator do you use? ...

I used in this case for testing the own pdf printer of autocad (in the layout was set the plotter).
use pdffactory as a pdf printer, but not in this case of the public. He's the best of all those tested. even if it is not free.

....

in the public instead that "plotter defined in the page settings" sets pdf (practically the pdf system printer of autocad).
I don't think there's any difference between autocad and mechanical.

....but in the various options I find nothing that determines a single sheet or multiple sheets.

in the publishing options, under general dwf/pdf options, there is no "type" and "single sheet file" option?

There's something wrong with me...
because in system printers I have no pdf, but only dwf
See Annex
high what suggests if I use output as dwf
low instead after importing the pdf sampante from a configuration file

and I don't believe you find that printer!!! My fault. :redface:
I was convinced that the 2009 public was the same as 2010, but in this version it was modified.
I tried bullzip that had been advised by radio.
Unfortunately you have to set it as a printer in advance in each layout. creates separate files, but with the inconvenience that must be saved one by one.

Since 2010, as I said, with the introduction of press in the public, this problem has been solved.

if disabled autosave, pdfcreator also makes me the single files, but I have to save them one by one.
what I wanted to avoid, precisely

for the printer setup problem, I solved with importing the configuration from a special file. I tried it several times and it works. . .

 

[MBT]

small update to future memory.. .
I solved the problem in the simplest way!
I installed dwg true view 2011 and use it to publish directly in pdf !!!

thanks to all for suggestions

necessary for advice: using the public function in pdf, I use the dwg to pdf printer of lt2019. I upload all open drawings, both layouts and models. Names are "unsaved drawing - * layout name*".
I would care that it only loaded the layouts and that the file names were the layout names, but I don't understand how to set it up. I can remove the models from the list manually, it's not a big job but when you have to print a lot of stuff it's a little boring to change all the names. ideas?
