Issues with Printing to Bluebeam PDF

lucas_antes — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 19:50:24 GMT

When printing to Bluebeam PDF from Revit 2023, we are seeing this weird issue with the walls on a floor plan displaying this greyed-out, hashed area. We use this on a Windows 10 machine on 22H2 and running Bluebeam Revu 20. Everything is up to date. It seems when the floor plan is near the right edge, it creates this issue once we print to Bluebeam.

I fixed printing problems in my projects by changing the software that generates the PDF for "DORO PDF" and I even recommend the change. And I made some settings when printing where I saw that some things caused glitches or stains because the project was consuming a lot of memory.

Actions that can be taken:

- Remove all shadow settings from all views when generating a PDF (both projected and ambient)

- To avoid weighing down PDF processing too much, you can keep it at the medium print setting.

These are the recommendations I can make.

I would have to take a closer look at your file to know if there could be a problem with the Hatch or if there is something getting in the way. If it's really an image thing, I hope it helps.

Revit has a native export PDF feature now. Why not use that? Come back if that doesn't fix it.

We have the same problem with certain desktops. Our solution is to install a third party CTC PDF driver. That works great!

Go to your windows search, type in Bluebeam administrator, open, go to the Printer tab, select Restart.
