Question
I had use this before in autocadd 2006 but when I upgraded to 2008 loss it.  I still can do pdf files but 1 file at a time which is a waste specially I am dealing with multiple plot sheets at a time.  Also, when I tried to do publish, the pdf file name is something like this : A2.pdf instead of the whole plot page of A2.01.pdf for example.  Please help...

Answer
Hi --
Sorry, I was  hoping to have time to figure out better where you went wrong.  
And I really cant make sense of your last sentence.

Here is what I would do in your spot
--- never assume after an upgrade that things work the same, particularly after and upgrade with file format change
--- look carefully at every setting in the publish dialog box and in OPTIONS to see if I have everything checked correctly
--- check HELP or a book for the recommended proceedure for 2008

They suggest that you publish via the Sheet Set Manager --- I suspect you arent?????

I would suggest you write in much greater detail, to the AutoCAD Plot and Publish Discussion Group --- someone there may see what went wrong. Since I dont use Publish often, it is harder for me to follow you.
