Question

pdf995
Hello sir,
Last time I have asked u about combining multiple layouts in Autocad to single pdf.
Now I have tried these options through Pdf995, it is possible to create Multiple layouts of dwg file into single pdf.
But this is not reliable.
I have attached image here, this shows two options i.e.combine pdf995 print jobs & combine with previous pdf995 print job
I am using first option because I have three layouts which i want in single pdf file for one drawing.another dwg also have three layouts & i want single pdf for these layouts. both pdf,s should be separate.So I am not using second option from that window.
But problem is if i am using first option from window only yet it merges second pdf with first one whether my second option is off..

Please help

Answer
I like PDF995 for single sheets.  For multiple sheet PDFs, I use PDFTOOLs from Sheelapps to join the PDFs that I create with PDF995..  It works great!  It's freeware, but they have a way to accept donations on the site, if you are so inclined.

Here is the site:

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
