To Publish a Sheet Set to a DWF, DWFx, or PDF File

From the Sheet Set Manager, you can easily publish an entire sheet set, a subset of a sheet set, or a single sheet. It is more efficient to publish a sheet set in the Sheet Set Manager rather than using the Publish dialog box.

  1. Click View tab Palettes panel Sheet Set Manager. Find
  2. In the Sheet Set Manager, under Sheets, select a sheet set, subset, or sheet.
  3. From the flyout menu, choose an output:
    • Publish to DWF
    • Publish to DWFx
    • Publish to PDF

    If you have background publishing enabled, the animated plotter icon on the right side of the status bar indicates that the publish job is in progress. Right-click this icon for options to view the DWF file or to view information about the publish job.

    Tip: Publishing speed can be improved by turning off background publishing. To turn off background publishing clear the Background Publishing check box in the Plot and Publish tab (OPTIONS command), and in the Publish Controls group.
