When the binder package contains an Enhanced Report Utility drawing, such as a loop drawing, the software publishes 2 PDF's, one with all the binder documents and the other with the Enhanced Report Utility drawing. Both the PDF's are published to the same folder with the same name except the Enhanced Report Utility drawing has a prefix of an underscore followed by the drawings name. For example, _FT100.
