I wanted to see if anyone has been able to figure this out. I have been struggling for years to get our firms PDFs (24x36 size) to display anything that is rasterized by Revit on an iPhone. Let me explain: The PDF opens but only the vector printed information is displayed (like room tags, dimensions, text). The actual drawing on the sheet is gone because it is rasterized (shades/shadows/depth cueing). I want to be able to send a PDF to a client and they click it one time in the email, and it opens the PDF. Being able to just click the PDF and see the drawing is what I am after. Not having to explain that "you need to download adobe PDF then click share and then open it in another app." I need it to just work so our deliverables are professionally presented.
Printing to vector there is no issue, but you have to turn off all the great things in Revit that make the elevations look great! Anyone have this issue and was able to get around it?
Thanks!

I have never seen or heard of this before....I can raster print and/or export to PDF and open on iPad or iPhone normally.
Edit: Maybe you want to attach a sample PDF to test open it at my end? ... it might also be a pdf viewer issue

Thank you! Appreciate you testing it out! Since there is not a problem seeing it in Adobe app it appears it is an issue with the default iPhone mail app PDF viewer and rasterized images in a PDF (at least for me and my colleagues).
I have gotten around this by using "PDF Expert" app but in this instance, it still didn't show the raster images. It wasn't until trying adobe app that they did show. So I guess adobe app is better?
While this is no issue for a person with knowledge about how do to these things, I have run into older clients that just click the pdf in their apple mail and if it doesn't open and show the drawings it doesn't work. I don't like when its hard for them to see something. Was trying to see if there was a way around that but seems we will need to teach everyone how to open our presentation drawings on a phone.
Appreciate the help.
I sent you two sample PDF files (Raster Prints) to your inbox..check them out
Both open in the default mail viewer app
The easy alternative is NOT to attach PDF files but give them a Link to One Drive or Autodesk Drive...then they will by default open in the web browser
