Raster processing printing time depend on the dimensions and the amount of graphics included in the view. The view uses shading, shadows, gradients, or sketchy lines.Revit automatically uses vector processing, it only prints with raster processing if any of the following statements is true: It’s highly recommended to use vector processing whenever possible, as it keeps the vectorial nature of objects. You can also access and change this options through the Print Menu in Revit, for any printer you might be using: In any case, do not choose the option “Prompt for Adobe PDF Filename”.At the Adobe PDF Settings tab, for Adobe PDF Output Folder, select Documents\*.pdf option or browse to select an specific folder.In the Devices and Printers window, double-click Adobe PDF.On the Windows Control Panel, click Devices and Printers.

There are many printers for PDF (PDF Creator is the most common one), but f you are using Adobe PDF you have this option: To avoid the need to provide individual file names for each PDF document, change your system’s default PDF settings. If you are using Revit to create separate PDF files for several views or sheets, the default settings of the PDF printer force you to provide a filename for each PDF file as it is created.

It is appended with the names of the selected views and sheets. If you are generating multiple PDF files, the specified filename is used as a prefix. If you are printing multiple views and sheets and you select Create separate files, you cannot cancel the print job once it starts. The specified filename will be the name of the single file containing multiple views/sheets.Īt the File section we can select Create separate files. Combine Multiple Selected Views/Sheets into a Single FileĪt the File section we can select the option Combine multiple selected views/sheets into a single file, so we’ll generate a single PDF file that contains all of the selected views and sheets. We can also establish if we want to use raster or vector processing, and adjust the configuration of special objects as links, reference planes, or tags, among others. It explains how to deal with multiple views and sheets, explains the features, benefits and handicaps of different settings, and useful complementary tools.Īt the Print Setup menu we can define whether we want to generate several independent PDFs, or if we want to join all sheets into one unique PDF. This guideline explains the procedure of generating PDFs from Revit files.
