I would like to batch plot or publish a set of drawings to pdf but not have the layout tab included in the final name.
 
Instead of the layout tab in the name I would like to put the drawing revision, which is an attribute within the title block.
 
Any routines to achive this?

Maybe I am not clear .

Go to layout tab and on it click with the right button of mouse and rename it.

yes that may work, but it means that we need to rename layout tabs in 100's of drawings.
 
I was hoping that I could just extract the revision attribute and add to the end of the file name, while removing the layout name.
