A dream for publishing from Rhino would be to print individual PDFs from a multi page Rhino file. In the various sizes and orientations defined in each paper space. It would also be great to number the files from the tabs relative to each page too! Can we do this somehow??

Print individual PDFs, i.e. auto separate a print into individual pages, and name those pages relative to the layout tabs.

I cant seem to get landscape and portrait rotation working together though?

Have a look here: [image] You can print a succession of layouts in one orientation and then the others in a different orientation. This is a good point though, @pascal @stevebaer - when printing a range it would be helpful if the spooler could work out what orientation the layout was or at least …

Yep, this is on the list as something to implement.

Suite! (of arbitrary rotated PDFs in one document:) Thanks, Steve. Andy

The other thing I think’d be very nice… Is to be able to print all as a ‘oner’… But have the printer seperate the pages into individual PDFs, Naming them via the tab on each layout. Rhino is great I am a very big fan. However publishing, in this respect and other finer details, may help it compete …

The new PDF printing tools technically has this ability now, but there is no User Interface for it yet. The developer says it can be accessed through scripting if that’s something you can do. If you’re like me, then I’ll wait until there is interface for the controls.

Hi John, thanks for your respond. Yes, I´d like to try via script. Could you show me how to access it. Thanks, Phillip

Sorry, coding and scripting aren’t skills I have. I was passing along developer comments.

Hi, in your changelog it says

Rhino WIP 2017-Feb-21 is now available.
This WIP includes:
New Features:
PDF: Option to make individual PDFs when printing Layouts

I can not get this to work though, neither I find the option to activate single PDFs.
For me printing multiple Layouts does not even create any PDF file.

Cheers,
phillip
