Exporting floor plans and elevations as PDF file

Anonymous — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 13:59:01 GMT

Please explain in steps as 1, 2 ,3 how can I export and save current views of floor plans and elevations to be able to save as PDF and JPG files in order to share when needed. Because all I could find Is how to export CAD format files.

Thank you !

To export PDF you should print view or sheet by virtual printer like PDFCreator, Adobe Pro:

To export jpeg do this:

Use print to create PDF's of your Revit views.

Sorry, nothing happened. No window opens where I can choose where to save my image (current view)

Also it is JPG only option. I need to know how can I save it as PDF too.

NOT working at all when I tried many times ! I did it all in steps you showed but I am getting empty file PDF with setting ''fit to page'' and corner visible only with setting ''100% zoom size'' and sometimes ''Nothing to see here". Also it asks "do you want to replace current file ?'' If I say YES it replace it with empty or corner visible and if I say NO it does nothing. So if I want not to replace file but create new one how can I do that ? What am I doing wrong here ?

I do not know how to do screen share so you could see what is on my screen ?

Maybe I should change something with size where it says ''letter, A4, A5'' ?
