    With i-model Composition Server, it is possible to create a single multi-page PDF from multiple source documents.

    Background

    When creating PDF documents from ProjectWise using i-model Composition Server, there may be times that you wish to create one single PDF document from multiple source documents. This can be achieved by placing the documents into a single Interplot Set file (.ips).

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Open ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer
    2. On the "Welcome to ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer dialog, press "Cancel"
    3. From the menu select "File/ProjectWise Login..." and log into your datasource
    4. Once logged in select "File/Create Plots..."
    5. Press the "Add..." button and select the documents you wish to print to PDF
    6. Specify a Settings file (if applicable) and press OK
    7. Select "File/Save As" and save the .ips file into your ProjectWise datasource and exit InterPlot Organizer
    8. Open ProjectWise Administrator
    9. Log into your datasource and go to the "Rendition Profile Components / Output File Formats" node
    10. Select PDF, and press Edit
    11. From the "Format" dialog, ensure the "Create one multi-page PDF document for each IPS file" is checked
    12. Open ProjectWise Explorer
    13. Log into your datasource and navigate to the .ips file created above in Step 7.
    14. Right click and select "Create Renditions..."
    15. Ensure that the Format is set to PDF and all other applicable options are set and press "Submit"
    16. When run, a single PDF document will be created with all of the documents from the .ips file
