Joe, I also use the fineprint products and if you use Fineprint as the main "Pprinter gatherer" and also have the Fineprint-PDFWriter then specified as one of your printers then the stage 1 "Fineprint" allows you to shrink the pages to as many as 8 pages per A4 sheet as well as adding watermarks, borders etc. You can also print in booklet form.

Perhaps their approach will allow TurboCAD to print without stopping for approval on each page.
