Wouldn't a multipage PDF plot as a single long piece of paper when done on a plotter that uses a roll of paper?

Hello John,

Thanks for the answer, but my problem is about paper type. I need my drawings plotted as one long 15 m roll of paper, so they are then folded to be delivered to authorities.

Hello,

We are about to deliver a large project in another town. So we think it is a good idea to make PDFs and use them for plotting there.

The problem is I don't know how to make a pdf for roll paper. It looks like I'm gonna need a 120 cm roll paper, I think it is about 48". And the approximate length of a set (of many) may be about 12-15 meters. So I thought I could make a custom paper size for 1200 x 15000 mm. But the pdf drivers in my disposal don't let me. They say it is larger than what the device supports.

And I have Acrobat X Pro and Bluebeam Cad 2015 here. I don't know if its possible if these 2 can't do the job. I even tried to make a page with HEIDI option of Bluebeam, but can't make a custom page that big.

Is there a way to manage this? Trying to make one page seems silly.

Thank you in advance.
