I've starting to experiment with .pdf files for distribution. When I try to batch-plot .pdf from my list of views, I just get a line across the bottom edge of the .pdf file's "page". I use multiple titleblock drwgs on the same drwg file, so I can't use "extents". If I use the "quick-layout" I get the drawing, but I have to manually rename it before I can select the next region of the drawing to plot. I had hoped that "views" would speed-up batch-plotting.

I don't like distibuting "live" CAD files openly due to professional liability and "instrument of service" issues. PDF's can't be altered or changed by others so there's less liability; but it's not worth the hassle so far...

Any suggestions? I'm probably doing, or not doing, something simple.
