When you do a batch pdf is there any way to have it so it creates individual pdf files and not a set file?

The way I use the plotting process in DCAD, it always creates separate PDFs for each MSP sheet that you plot. I don't know how one would actually print out all of the MSPs they want and have them merged into a single PDF. If I want that done, I use Acrobat to insert the separate PDFs created by the batch plotting operation in DCAD, into a single PDF file.

Select batch plot. Tick "Plot To Files" in batch plot and PDF format. Ensure you have selected GTVs or MUlti-layout sheets. Go.

The individual PDFs are made and suitably labelled. Use PDFills Tools Merge as required.

Tried that but it is still saving to a set file. I need individual pdf files. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Also of note, make sure you do not have any periods in the GTV names.

I realized after posting that I had to change the location in preferences where the pdf's would end up. Is there a way to change how the pdf's are labeled? I do not want the quickview label on them. Thank you for your help on this.
