Is there a way to plot multiple artwork layers to a PDF?

 We currenly plot each film layer to a PDF for viewing.  At this time, it has to be done one film layer at a time.  I want to know if there is a way, either in SKILL or a script, to plot some, or all, of the films defined in Manufacturing Artwork.  When you are talking about sometimes 15-20 film layers, it could save a lot of time.

    Also in my dept need to create a PDF file set contains all artwork film.

    Currently we quickly done it by importing Gerber file into a Gerber Editor (we use CAM350 but there is Graphi-Code GC-Prevue for free) then, using the virtual printer port of Adobe, print to PDF from the form into editor.

    The output file now has a page for each film and, if needed, you can reorder it any way you want.
