Print Multiple Pages from a Plan File, not Layout

[dshall]

I have a plan file,  (not a layout file),  it is 8-1/2x11 paper size  (I  hit the OPTION + F2),  I have six levels,  0-ATTIC........

 

I want to print these 6 "levels" to PDF  (8-1/2 x 11 paper size).  I want all six levels to be in one pdf file.  I know I can print one level at a time to pdf,  (I will then have 6 different pdf files),  I want one pdf file with all six levels/sheets,  Can this be done?

 

Or am I stuck printing each one separately?

I think you're out of luck, but someone smarter may be able to help. You can, however, combine the separate PDFs into on file with six pages quite easily.

At least it's easy with the PDF maker I use: Adobe Acrobat X.

Scott - to add to Adam's comments, on your Mac, Preview will let you combine PDF files with a native Mac app.  Not the solution you were looking for, but one none the less.

Thanks for the help guys,  but this is what I am doing now.  Remember,  I am always about 5 years behind everybody else,  so this is for those guys who are behind like me.

 

So I get emailed plan check corrections in PDF form  (sometimes it is faxed to me and then I save as PDF's,  I think,  (4 sheets).  

 

I save the attachment to job folder.

Now I drag that pdf file from folder to PDF CONVERTER FREE that came with mac.

It converts to a KEYNOTE file,  not sure why it is not a PAGES file.

I can now address the comments directly in the plan check correction list and now print that file as a PDF.

In fact if there is a note on the list that needs to go on my plans,  I suppose I can copy that directly from plan check list and put into my plans.

 

So this is what I do for printing....  I mail the following to my print shop:

PDF of plans,  structural calculations,  title 24 calculations and plan check response lists.....  everything.  I am officially out of the printing business.  When the print shop is done printing,  I call courier,  for $20.00 the courier takes the plans to my plans runner and she does her thing.

 

At one time I had the courier come by here to pick up calcs then the blueprint shop for the plans,  heck,  I let the print company do all the printing.  

 

I know I know,  everybody knows about the PDF converter,  but it is new to me.

Follow up,   PDF Converter Free was free, if I want to convert to other apps,  I must upgrade.  40.00,  I upgraded.

Can't you just put each level on a different layout page, then do the pdf. It seems to me you need a layout to do it.

[dshall]

Yep,  I've done it that way P.  The problem is we can only have one layout open at a time.  I need the plan layout open as I edit the plan.  

 

This new way I think will work very well.  Now if I only knew my way around PAGES,  the work app.
