Best Aproach?: BatchPlot from PDF Required |
|
|
Sounds simple, but I have yet to find the solution.
I desire the following:
A routine to batch plot, selected PDF files.
This is where things get complicated, I will try to be clear as possible.
The drawing files are setup to include a "D" size in one layout tab, and (2)
"A" size on (2) other layout tabs.
The "D"size is the part drawing, and "A" sizes are the BOM.
The creation of PDF files is not the problem.
It is required that the BOM stay with the drawing, so that a single PDF file
is created with (1) "D" size and (2) "A" size sheets.
This is all wonderful, to this point, and easily accomplished.
The problem comes in when the PDF files need to be plotted out.
Since the PDF File contains "A" & "D" sizes, I have yet to find code, or
application that will batch plot a PDF, and print the appropriate size sheet
to the appropriate printers. I have seen some utilities that will allow the
user to select the printer, but then through many options, the layout,
sheets size, etc. is required from the user.
This is fine if (1) PDF file is being plotted, but what about 1000's?
Shouldn't there be a way to determine printer based upon sheet size?
I would simply like the user to select PDF files to be plotted, then select
desired printer for "A" & "D" sizes, and BATCH.
Shouldnt this be possible?
I am trying to figure out code to do this, or find a utility that already
has this ability.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
Dan
