How can I make an oversized PDF Print

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to get a PDF file from Revit longer than 5 meters? I need to get a file about 6000 mm width and 841 mm height. I tried CutePDF Writer. It led me to Postscript Custom Page Size window but it is limited with 5080 mm. I also tried FriloPDF but it is limited with 2774 mm.

Is there any other PDF printers that I can use for this?

@Anonymous, you should be able to add the custom paper size through the Windows print settings.

Take a look at this article as a reference: http://www.win2pdf.com/doc/pdf-custom-paper-windows-7.html

You'll need to create a new form with custom dimensions (6000 mm width and 841 mm height).

I followed the instructions but it didn't work. I manage to create a new form as indicated but I don't have "Win2PDF" printer in my list because I am using windows 10 I guess. So I did the same thing using "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer and created the form as I wanted. When I go back to Revit and try to print the PDF, I can't see the "AR352" form which I created and most of the other forms I could see when I was in the "Print Server Properties".

You can check the screenshots (My windows is not in English sorry :D)

Oh I just realized I didn't install the Win2PDF. I will try again now.

I don't think of any PDF printers that can exceed 5080 mm page size limitation.

I manage to get a PDF export using my new page but the printed file is clipped. It also gives this warning. "The dimensions of this page are out of range. Page content can be clipped."

Of course the page will be clipped because it exceeds the 200" (5080 mm) size limit.  If you need a page that large, you need to create smaller PDF files and compose them in Illustrator as a large spread.  Even then, you cannot save the result to a PDF, you have to save it to the native Illustrator format and send it to production. 

Why do you need a PDF that large>

My professor wanted me to collect all my drawings in one long construction document and I need to print it but the man in charge of the printers doesn't have revit. I think I will try to export my sheet as DWG file.

Thank you!
