PDF printing issues

[BCArchitect]

Until using Revit 2008, printing to PDF was pretty easy and bulletproof. Now it's totally buggy. First why the "improvements"? I had to create my own 24x36 sheet format? In an architecture program! And now you have to tell it not to open each on and tell it where to go? Is there an improved version out yet?

Whenever I print Selected Sheets and choose more than one sheet, it freezes up the whole program.
If I print one sheet and then come back and print a bunch it works fine. Anyone else have this issue?

Revit 2008, unlike previous recent versions (not including
pre-acquisition releases) will allow printing to multi-sheet PDF's, but
you may be experiencing memory issues if the resolution is set too high
in the driver. The paper sizes available for any given device are based
on the windows print driver installed on your machine, and have nothing
to do with the application doing the printing. Acrobat Professional
ships with architectural paper sizes, but lesser versions do not. There
are other commercial and free drivers available that also do the job
equally well, or better.

.ppd and .gpd files are just plain text files so if your resourceful
enough...

Download and configure Ghostscript and Redmon. You can set all the
pauperizes you wish or till you turn blue.
