Acad 09 / publish / via Bluebeam
« on: December 19, 2013, 12:07:46 PM »
with the 09 install, there was no Bluebeam pdf printer, so reinstalled Bluebeam (same version)
I have an Acad print set up with Bluebeam as the printer, but now when I publish:

 - I get only the first file is pdf'd
 - changing Publish Options>DWF tpye to: Multi-sheet DWF  I get a single pdf with multiple sheets

I'd like to get back to publishing several single page pdfs, but not sure where to start
Think I can cross out Acad publish options (explored what few options there to change)

If anyone uses Bluebeam, is that where the multi file single page settings come from?

If AutoCAD 2009 is like 2011, publish is fully capable of creating multiple single page PDFs. Re-check those options. I am away from CAD until tomorrow or I would post a screen shot.

Sorry for the relay repling....sick/couple days off......hope all got some time off....

Ron - Thxs, thats an option, but Id like to stay w publish. I'd prob have a lot more ?'s w/ Bluebeam, but thats Plan B

Rob - I'm looking @ publish options...not much to it (which is why I was looking @ bluebeam options). Publish has
   location
  password  on/off
 
The only option messing with is DWF type:  Single sheet DWF or Multi Sheet

(let me know if the attachment doesnt show.......@ work robdraw & my avatar dont show anymore but r ok on the iphone ????)

Try that again but have PDF selected under "Publish to:" before selecting "Publish Options..."

My "pub to" has 2 radio buttons
 - Plotter named in page setup (I have checked)
 - DWF format

No pdf option, looks like my update to 09 is still to far behind   :cry:

What happens if you plot PDFs with "Single Sheet DWF" selected?

Do you have the AutoCAD DWG to PDF plotter?

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Day One as in the first post...................today:

changing options has no effect, ( even closed Acad), both produce a multi page pdf (I'm trying to get back to plotting several, single pg pdfs)

not sure about
Do you have the AutoCAD DWG to PDF plotter?

I have Bluebeam in the plot set up in the dwgs

Then the single page PDF option is in the Blue Beam options or you need to plot from within Blue Beam.

You did not say if you have the DWG to PDF plotter. If you have it and use it in your page set-up(s), you should be able to get single page PDFs.

today it doesnt change anything, I get a single pdf file with multiple pages

Do you have the AutoCAD DWG to PDF plotter?

Sorry I dont understand the question
In acad I have a plot setup called "record pdf" which Bluebeam is the plotter.  ( Is that what your asking?)

Nope.

It's in your plotter drop down list, it should be there. In more recent releases, (I'm not sure if 2009 is new enough.) the built in PDF plotter has gotten a lot better.

Just to be clear:
You made a new page set-up with the DWG to PDF plotter.
Applied it to all layouts and saved the file.
In publisher, verified that the correct page set-up was selected for each layout.
In publisher, selected "Plotter named in page set-up".
