Printing PDF from Revit

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SU5hNX6amsOrR7J_8dw_XuQ852w7pUwa/view?usp=sharing 

 

I have been trying to print sheets on PDF format, and when I do it, it opens up as a notepad and gives this message:

 

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
Calibri not found, using Courier.
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show ]%%

Stack:
()


%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% " I don't know what I am doing wrong, here is a video to show what I am doing.

This may or may not be the case but it looks like your PDF writer doesn't have the font you used in the project. This sometimes doesn't allow you to print. Try swapping PDF writers, or looking at the advanced settings for how it plots text. Sometimes you have an option to substitute unknown texts for a different style and it can solve problems.

Changing your font from Calibri to others such as Arial might help.

You may have solved this, but for anyone else having this issue - We solved this by:

 

This is an issue where Adobe cannot find the xxx font and defaults to Courier, but is still unable to print the PDF. Fortunately there is a very quick fix!

Step 1: Open the Revit file you are trying to make into a PDF.

Step 2: Select Print, and next to Adobe Print, select "printer settings"

Step 3: Under "Adobe Printer Settings" un-check the box that says ""Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts"

Thanks soooo much for that answer. Revit was driving me crazy because of that!
