Are you using a mac? I should have made that clearer. I'm using mac OSX 10.4.3. I used to use a PC and have used the batch print using distiller before, but I don't believe you can do that with a mac.

Is there still no way of batch creating pdfs from sheet layers in the new vectorworks 12?

Printing as raster doesn't produce the same quality of linework. This shouldn't be my only option. I saved a postscript file from vectorworks using the printer driver and it produced a 6.5mb file. Also, we have found that printing a file from VW10 works fine, but the same file doesn't print from VW11 when imported. This may indeed be a printer memory problem, but I believe something within VW11 is causing it. Is there a way to really check this?

The printer has 512mb of memory. The files we are trying to print are a fraction of that.
Also, printing from the preview does work. Would this not be the same size file?

I am running VW 11 on OSx 10.3.5
About half of my files send a 0/0 pages to our Xerox Workcentre and our HP LaserJet 4V if I print directly from VectorWorks. If I select the "rasterize print output" from the vectorworks print setting, I get a print. Printing from every other application works fine, including printing from a preview of the drawing.
From all this, I am presuming that there is a postscript printing problem in vectorworks. Has anybody seen this, or know of a solution?
batch pdf in VW 12 mac

Naming pdf's one by one is fine for small sets, but when I have hundreds of drawings to make pdfs of for print sets, this can take half a day. It would be so much simpler if a batch pdf process could make pdfs and use the sheet name for each pdf automaticlly. It is unfortunate that nemetschek doesn't realize the potential of such a batch pdf utility, especially since VW 12 can export pdfs using quartz technology in the mac environment.
