Creating a PDF with multipule layout sheets
(OP)
I'm using CutePDF Writer to convert to PDF format, I was wondering if there was a way to keep all the layout tabs that I plot in one file. Currently, if have to send someone a PDF, I have to send them a file of each layout tab. I have veiwed drawing pdf's like this before and I was wondering how it was done.
Thanks
Thanks

1. create a page layout that utilizes the "DWG to PDF" plotter.
2. select all your tabs, (hold the shift key)
3. right click on the selected tabs and select "Publish."
4. In the publish dialog box, change the default plotter for each tab to your page setup that utilizes the "DWG to PDF" plotter.
5. You should end up with a single PDF file, named the same as the first layout, and that file defaults to c:\docs & settings\my documents.
5A. there is a button "publish options" that allows you to change where the plot-to-file is sent.

Will that work on 2004?

There is only one way to find out though. :)
Here's something: check to see if the DWG to PDF "plotter" is available. If not, we can try loading the plotter driver from a newer release of ACAD.

DWF
AutoDesk came out with the DWF many years ago, in direct response to the explosion of PDFs.
The DWF allows multiple sheets, can include layer and block information, and the file sizes are typically a fraction of a PDF.
Sure, you have to have your clients download the free AutoDesk DWF Reader program, but the only need to download it once.
Check it out: you'll like the DWF.
