Hi,
In our plot sheets, we have a line of text for the revision number, i.e. 'B'
Waht I'd like to do is to have this revision letter added to the PDF file names, i.e File_name_B.PDF
How can this be done? using V8 2004 and we use PDF.plt driver
Many thanks in advance!

As you can see from my post to Phil, we need a new tool to achieve this more easily.
As a workaround you can use the following workflow we have established in our office for a long time. This workflow uses the name of the sheet model to produce a pdf file name.
1. Rename your sheet model according your file naming specification.
2. In your Bentley plot driver (*.plt ) or (*.pltcfg) add the following line to specify your PDF file name. default_outFile = "$(MS_PLTFILES)$(MS_PLTMODELNAME).plt"
Be aware that there are much more options to automatically specify the PDF file name when creating a PDF.
