Printing Sheets in PDF

[Anonymous]

So I have this default A0 Sheet family which I would like to use for printing on PDF using AdobePDF printer. Sadly, when I print, there are big margins all around the sheet. How to get rid of them and make the A0 sheet fill the wholel A0 piece of paper. 

Furthermore, how to get rid of those elevation views "squares", which are visible on the sheet and come together with the view?

Check your print Settings, Setup for Print Placement (I generally use Offset from Corner, No Margin)

Also check Zoom and set to 100

To get rid of the elevation boxes, in the view, select show crop boundary and adjust the crop boundary so they are no longer visible.

Hi Drzamich

serveral things you need to do. When printing to PDF you need to set you "zoom" to zoom 100%.
the standard setting is fit to page and a crop factor is being used.

to get rid of the elevation views symbol. you need to go to the desired view. "visibilty graphics overides" and turn off the elevattions in the Annotation Tab.

hope for you this solution works.

Hello!

To hide those elevations symbols, you got to activate that view and Show crop region (1), adjust the crop region to only show what you want and then set to Crop view (2). Check the image below. To make the crop region invisible again, just click at the button 1.

To proper printing, try to check the options below:

1. First, you have to get a PDF printer. My suggestion is the DoPDF8 (available here) because it got many sheets sizes. But you can use another installed;

2. After installing the printer, go to the printing settings on Revit and set the DoPDF 8 printer as your current printer;

3. At the Print Range field, choose the sheet you want (observe that you must know the real size of the sheet);

4. At the Settings field, click on the Setup button. Then, choose the real size of your sheet (A4, A3 etc) or choose the Custom Size option, set the zoom to 100% and the paper placement at the center;

4. Only if your choice on 4. was Custom Size, on the side of your printer's name, click on the Properties button. As you already told that you want a Custom Size, just move the dimensions to millimeters and enter the correct dimensions of your sheet. Pay atention at the orientation of the sheet. If the landscape orientations doesn't work, try the portrait;

5. You're all set. Just choose to print as seperated files and click on OK. The window will open is the DoPDF window. Choose the output location of your file and click again on OK.
