Revit Printing Issue

[ScottBaier6953]

Does anybody know if the Revit Printing Issue will ever get fixed?  Seems like we have been dealing with it since 2012 and it is still an issue with 2015.

For those who have not exoerienced the problem, when you print a single file/combined set of PDFs for a project, Revit wants to print the file about 10 times which locks up your machine for about 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the project.  Most of us have learned to save and synch before printing, then crash and restart Revit as a work-around.  You would think this issue would have been adressed in 3 years.

You would think...

I've been dealing with that issue for a while too, 2012 seems about right. Its almost as if Revit makes a PDF file for each page in the PDF. So you make a 10 page PDF, Revit makes 10, 10 page PDFs. (Or in our case, 50, 50 page PDFs, which like you said, its easier just to crash Revit than to wait it out) We've also have the occasional printing issue where Revit just straight up closes the second I click print. No error message, no recovery save prompt, just my desktop. I've sent countless error reports and messages to Autodesk about it, but I've only gotten 1 response, which basically told me to troubleshoot it and figure it out on my end. Maybe 2016 right?...

I do not know if you are aware of it. Cadastrophe sometime ago give a solution to prevent the problem (HERE).

It seemed to have helped a lot of users.

I have found that this is caused if the last place that the user clicked was in the Project Browser or if the current View is non-printable (i.e. a Schedule View). Prior to printing, be sure that you open any printable View and click anywhere inside that View to make it the 'active window'. Following this procedure, I have never had this problem again!

We will give that a shot, hopfully Autodesk is listening and will fix the issue so that a "workaround" is not needed. Thanks!
