Running Publish in a macro

[Olhado_]

Is there a way to run the Publish command, through some VBA and/or LISP code?

 

Why would I ask such a silly thing? It is simple we can collate sheets into a single PDF, with the publish command; but I need to do some things to the drawing before and after the printing process.

 

I am currently working on a way to do this using, just the plot routine, in VBA; but the collating is proven annoying to automate outside of AutoCAD.

 

And if the answer is no, then can anyone give any suggestions on how to automate collating multiple plt files into one, so I can create a single PDF? I understand this last question is outside the scope of this forum.

 

Thanks.
