Hi all,
My Revit is using Bluebeam PSDriver for plotting the project plan to PDF.
Here I have the text font and orientation issue when exporting.
Besides, the logo image does not appear correctly as well.
Can someone please help?
What do I need to change in my setting or what?

We had at least 3 users suddenly start having problems today that sound similar to yours. All 3 could plot their projects fine last Thursday, but not today. So far, I’m thinking it sounds like an issue with an update.
The issue is that PDFs are produced by BlueBeam (and possibly other PDF drivers) that have font substitutions and some missing lines and logos.
Below are some characteristics I have noted among the affected users:

Hi sir ( @sejohnsonphd45 )
Yes the problem just emerged yesterday only.
Last week the Bluebeam driver was working alright.
and yes it was on Revit 2020..
the problem just disappeared in the afternoon yesterday (after 3pm NZ time) suddenly without any change of setting.
Hi @mchristop
No clue at the moment. My colleague ran into this issue and few hours later the issue disappeared by itself without changing anything.
Yes, I believe we did. I believe the issue was the Microsoft KB5000802 update, which got installed automatically for half our firm over the weekend. When we uninstalled that update via the control panel, the problems went away. IT is implementing some sort of preventative measure to keep it from installing on any other machines, and to keep it from automatically trying to reinstall on the computers we remove it from.
I guess KB5000802 is better known for causing Blue Screens of Death when trying to plot, but for us it just messed with lines, fonts, and logos in the title blocks. Our reseller said a number of their clients have been experiencing font issues in PDFs because of it. We were lucky, I guess. Messed up plots beat computer crashes any day.

This is what I was assuming too. I actually just got done uninstalling KB5000802 and restarting my machine and I saw your post.
It appears that KB5001567 which actually removes KB500082 might also cause this issue.
Hello All, This article relates to the KB5000802 that @sejohnsonphd45 mentions above.
PDFs are incorrectly printed after installing March 2021 Microsoft Update in Revit
If a problem still exists after this is removed, Please log an Autodesk support ticket. Thank you.
Autodesk Support ticket created to add (KB5001567) to the list of updates that break ability to create PDF's from Revit.
KB5001649 appears to be working better for us. I have only tested two computers, and only for a short time, but so far so good.
I had to download it from here because the Windows update download is not working for some reason.

We are having the same problems, we printed on the 15th and everything was fine, on the 18th everything was printing incorrectly. We are in Revit 2021
@Anonymous I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue.

Did you download the update from the link I provided. You have to figure out which one you need. Windows 10? 2004? X64?
I have been installing the version for 20H2 machines, because that is what I have.
opened Revit back up today and having the same issue printing from Blue Beam. Text is changing, line weights are all wrong. Is this still a microsoft issue? On Friday I followed all the instructions and was able to print?
