Unfortunately our client want more information from the drawing (more different pdfs). It is very tedious process to change every drawing view map, layout book and publisher sets and again our clint my change his requirements, we don't want to do this again. so, is there any other way can we achieve this?

The template only serves as a starting point for the file. There is no connection between the two thereafter.
