    Multiple Page PDF from Models without IPS files

    Hi All,

    Can anybody confirm that ICS can produce multi-page PDFs from design files with multiple models without an IPS file?

    We have hundreds (and hundreds) of design files with multiple sheet models and we're looking to publish these as PDFs. Defining a IPS file for each of these, and future designs is not really a conceivable option.

    Dawn Clark Gentry seems to suggest this is possible in forum thread titled "Multiple page pdf from file with multiple plot shapes".

    I am able to produce multiple single sheet PDFs easily enough using the IP_SHEETDEF_MODELS variable for the model name in the settings file, and these are being distributed fine, but the option in the PDF 'Output File Format' to 'Create one multi-page PDF document for each IPS file' appears to have no effect in this scenario.

    I understand that I'm not using IPS files, but was hoping that behind the scenes that one was being created and this would work.

    If anybody has any suggestions, they'd be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jim

      If you want to create a multi-page PDF from multiple input files, you will need to use an IPS file as the input on the iCS rendition job. My statement that you reference was a bit confusing. You can get multiple renditions from the same DGN file if using plot shapes or models, but each plot shape/model area will create a separate PDF file, not a multi-page PDF file. The only way to get a multi-page PDF automatically from iCS is to use an IPS file as input.
