print to PDF each layer separately from a PCB schematics in Altium

Question

I designed a PCB with Altium and now I want to print each layer separately in one or several PDF files.

From the Porjects tab I selected the *.PcbDoc => File => Smart PDF...

In the window "Choose Export Target" I select the .PrjPcb file and in the following window too.

In the window "Export Bill of Materials", I do not export the bill of materials. In the window "PCB Printout Settings" I select Top, Bottom, Double Sided and Holes check boxes. I also select the "Entire Sheet" Area to print

In the window "Additional PDF Settings" I chose to print in color and all the check boxes in the Additional Information section excepted "Global Bookmarks for Components and Nets".

Finally I let all suggested by default in the "Final Steps" window.

And when I click on finish the resulting PDF is my PCB with all the layers in one page, so it is not readable...

I am using Altium 14.3.

You can do this with an .OutJob; create a new Output Job and then:

In "Outputs" -> "Documentation Outputs" -> "PCB Prints": add a single PrintOut for each layer and for each PrintOut add the layers you want:

Output Container is PDF. If you want color and not just gray, you have to right click on "PCB Prints" and open the "Page Setup...".
