pdf printing orientation

Hi,

I know there are many posts about PDF printing. I have dug through quite a few but did not find an answer.

I have PDFs printing decently from Revit using the PDF995 plot driver. Paper is set to ARCH D. Layout is landscape.

 

The resulting plot is perfect, except for one detail. When opened in a PDF viewer the page displays 90 degrees turned left. I would like them to open in a friendly right side up mode, same as the files I plot from AutoCAD.

 

I've been fixing this using a PDF editor but it is a bit of a nuisance.

 

There is an option in the driver setup "rotated landscape, but all this does is flip the plot 180, so then it opens up rotated 90 degrees right.

I believe the PDF Creator printer behaves the same way.

 

Advice?

Just for fun, what happens when you print with the portrait setting? I print to PDF all the time using landscape mode and it always comes out right. Using AdobePDF print driver though. Perhaps your driver is assuming it has to rotate stuff when it's in landscape mode? Just a guess....

yeah, I tried that already. It solves the problem, sort of...

What comes out is a drawing that sits halfway up the page, rotated 90 across page and lots of wasted space. But it opens right side up!

Thanks for the thought!

Hmmmm...

 

Oh, did you check the layout settings in both places? The SETUP button at the bottom, and the PROPERTIES button at the top? Maybe experiment with various combinations to see if one will output correctly.

I was having this issue also. I was using PDF Creator, I switched to cutepdf writer and now all my sheets print  in the correct orientation

It's a three year old post, but thanks. 

I've been using the bluebeam plugin for the last few years and that works really well.
