Create multi sheet PDF from ARX using DSD

By Adam Nagy

We already have a blog post on doing this from .NET, but it could take a bit of time to convert the code to ARX, so here it is.
It's not doing exactly the same but close enough :)

You'll have to include acplmisc.h and make sure your project links to AcPublish_crx.lib

static void plot (AcDbDatabase *pDb) {   CString pdfPath = "C:temppdfmyPDF.pdf";    CString deviceName =  L"DWG To PDF.pc3";   Acad::ErrorStatus es = Acad::eOk;    const TCHAR *docName;   es = pDb->getFilename(docName);       AcDbLayoutManager *layoutManager =      acdbHostApplicationServices()->layoutManager();   AcDbDictionary *layoutDict = NULL;   es = pDb->getLayoutDictionary(layoutDict, AcDb::OpenMode::kForRead);    // Start collecting info for the DSD data   AcPlDSDEntries dsdEntries;   AcDbDictionaryIterator *layoutIterator = layoutDict->newIterator();    // If we only want to plot paper spaces and not the model layout   AcDbObjectId msId = acdbSymUtil()->blockModelSpaceId(pDb);    for (; layoutIterator && !layoutIterator->done(); layoutIterator->next())   {     AcDbObjectPointer layout(       layoutIterator->objectId(), AcDb::OpenMode::kForRead);       if (layout->getBlockTableRecordId() == msId)       continue;      const ACHAR *layoutName;     layout->getLayoutName(layoutName);      AcPlDSDEntry dsdEntry;     dsdEntry.setLayout(layoutName);     dsdEntry.setDwgName(docName);     dsdEntry.setTitle(layoutName);     dsdEntries.append(dsdEntry);        }    delete layoutIterator;    layoutDict->close();    AcPlDSDData dsdData;   dsdData.setDSDEntries(dsdEntries);      dsdData.setProjectPath(L"c:temppdf");   dsdData.setLogFilePath(L"c:temppdflogdwf.log");   dsdData.setSheetType(AcPlDSDEntry::SheetType::kMultiPDF);   dsdData.setNoOfCopies(1);   dsdData.setDestinationName(pdfPath);   dsdData.setPromptForDwfName(false);   dsdData.setSheetSetName(L"PublisherSet");    AcPlPlotConfig *plotConfig;   acplPlotConfigManager->setCurrentConfig(plotConfig, deviceName);        // We need this for acplPublishExecute    acedArxLoad(L"AcPublish.arx");     acplPublishExecute(dsdData, plotConfig, false); }
