Print to PDF - Scaling issues with Bluebeam add-in

Hi;

Yesterday we sent a pdf file to our Repro store to print for permit docs. The sheet size set in Revit is 34x22. We used the Bluebeam add-in to set up the pdf creation. When I picked up the prints and double checked site plan dimensions, the sale was off - not by very much, but it was off at 18 scale the dimensions were not correct. I then tried to print to PDF in Revit rather then using the add-in and scales were all over the place. I've been reading up on pdf printing issues in this forum this morning but could not find anything closely related to our case. 

Any ideas what could be wrong here, or are there some issues with the Bluebeam add-in and/or Bluebeam pdf printer driver? How is everyone else creating their pdf prints?

 

Thx,

Marc

After some troubleshooting this morning, I believe I have found the issue with my prints. I have a titleblock that is 34x22. When I set up the Bluebeam settings and set the page setup to 34x22 and "page to fit", BB or Revit extends the titleblock with some white area and shrinks down the sheet, creating the scaling issue. If I change the setup to "zoom 100%", the sheet appears to print correctly. I will send these samples to the pinter on Monday morning and see if it prints correctly.
