Separate PDF files from multiple layouts

Mike96 — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 09:17:38 GMT

I know how to render multiple layouts into a single PDF file, but how to export them to separate PDF files in one go - one single-page file per layout? I know there are external programs to split multi-page PDFs into many single-pagers, but it would be welcome if we could do it inside Archicad, like we can do in Revit, without needing to use any extra soft.

I'm using AC 25. Maybe it's in newer versions?

Operating system used: Windows 10

Assuming you are using Publisher to create the PDF files?

If so just turn off the option to 'merge to one PDF file'.

Check that you have the "Create a real folder structure" or "Create flat file structure" option selected in publisher set properties. That could be it.
