Wrong shadows in camera view printed to pdf

Hello

 

 

I tried to plot a 3D view to pdf but I have strange shadows on the pdf file.

In revit it shows everything correct but on the pdf there happened something wrong.

I read the other articles about putting it to Raster Processing but that doesn't help.

Raster quality is on presentation (highest possible).

I printed with a cute pdf printer.

 

Does anyone has a solution for my problem?

 

 

 

Thanks

Maxim Bode

Try exporting an image ( jpeg, for example) from Revit and see if the shadows look correct.

 

If they do, then you can convert the image to PDF.

 

A bit of a workaround, but it may explain the reason that the CutePDF driver is causing it?

Hello

 

We tried this before and the export works but if we print it to another "real" printer, we also have the shadow problems.

 

We would like it to work because if we have a huge project with a lot of sheets, we don't want to waste our time in exporting to jpg and then change it to pdf to print it correct and send it to our costumers.

 

isn't there a quick solution to change the pdf/printer configurations so it will print properly?

 

Thanks for your reply

Adobe Acrobat Pro will usually do the trick, But it costs $.
