No, What I do in this case is save two separate print sets.  I print the first set that has the greater number of sheets. Then print the second set with the other sheet size, typically as individual sheet files. Then collate them together using Bluebeam or Adobe Acrobat.  Tedious, but it gets the job done.

Hi

 

1.You can save the Selection ( Sheets ) as A1, A0 etc..and use those selections while printing.

that will save some time.

 

2. You may create a folder in Revit Sheets as per Sheet size...so that you can identify the sheets easily.

 

3. Or name the Sheet number in such a way so that its easy to find sheet size..

 

4. You can print all the sheet on one size ex ( A3) using fit to page... if you really want to print all

 in one go and same PDF size.. ( this will defeat the scaling, cause sheet might say 1:100 on A0, 1:50 on A1 size..

and new A3 PDF and scaling wont related....

You may place a note saying

 

a. Scale 1:100 at A0 size

b Scale 1:200 at A1 size

c Scale 1:400 at A3 size... something like that to identify the scaling..

 

But correct way is whats mentioned by @andybrack.. create separate PDF on correct sheet size and combine them..

 

or have combined sheets as per size.. like

A0 Sheets ( Sheet 101, Sheet 102 , Sheet 103 etc )

A1 ( Sheet 201, Sheet 202, Sheet 203 etc )

 

that way anyone who is gonna take physical prints, can identify the sheet size.. and wont print on wrong sheet size 

with wrong scaling...

 

Hope that helps..

Cheers

You can print all sheets to the largest format, then open them in a PDF program and crop out white margins in a batch.  Granted your titleblock borders need corner crop marks to define the exact paper size.

Hi danezeq

 

You can print all your sheet sizes (100% scale), and all sheet orientations to PDF in 1 operation with this plugin:

You do not need to setup anything, the plugin does that for you.
