Plotting to pdf/a-2
Does anybody know how to plot a set of layouts to a multi-sheet pdf/a-2 format?
I've done it to a simple pdf but as I convert it to pdf/a with PDF creator all the layer information is lost.

You should not post the same question twice.
Here you can find an overview of tutorials:
https://help.bricsys.com/hc/en-us/sections/360001580814-TutorialsIn the 'Printing & Plotting' section there is an 'Output as PDF' tutorial:

I tried to delete the previous thread as it wasn't marked as question but I couldn't find an option for it. My bad.
Regarding the tutorials you linked for, there is no information regarding my question: Is it possible to print to pdf/a-2 format, maintaining layer information?

There is a section called 'Layer information' in the documentation of the _Publish command. See link in previous post.

Thank you for your continued attention, but I know how to publish to PDF and to maintain layer info. My problem, as mentioned, is how to do this for a PDF/a-2 format.0

Oops, sorry. I didn't realize that PDF/a-2 is a specific PDF format.
Have you tried Ghostscript?:

Thanks. I'll give it a try.I would also raise an Support Request with Bricsys. I think the option of being able to set the PDF format output is valid feature request.
