Revit's Vector-PDF via Print doesn't produce smooth curves...? Help Please.

[pearlofsadness]

Hi all,

I am trying to print-to-PDF, in Vectors (yes I checked and made sure it was Vector NOT Raster before Printing to PDF), but the result gives me an extremely jagged Vector line instead of the smooth ones like on Revit's Screen BEFORE printing to PDF... ON revit workspace all the curves looks extremely good...

On Revit model:

After Printing-To-PDF:

These are my print-settings. Just in-case.

[pearlofsadness]

Anyone? 😞

Share the actual PDF file. What PDF printer are you using?

[pearlofsadness]

HI,

I tried using microsoft to PDF and Bullzip and none of them works. entirely... 😞

[ToanDN]

Where is the PDF?

[pearlofsadness]

Here's the PDF. Thanks 🙂

I cropped out the other views so it will be easier to see the "error". Thanks. All curves basically turns into jagged lines. I am using 1:200 plan on A2 size paper. Thanks.

[pearlofsadness]

I am still stuck with this problem. If anyone knows of a solution please kindly let us know 🙂

Thank u!!

I attached the PDF 2-weeks ago. Have u managed to see it? 😞 I am still facing this problem.

Same here

If you zoom into the drawing and print 1:10, 1:20, 1:50 ad 1:100, does it give the same result? Most often it is base on your DPI resolution. Normally I keep it 300-600 DPI to make those lines look smooth.

[curtisridenour]

They are vector prints. I changed pdf printer and changed the DPI to 1200 just in case it was something strange. I tried printing to Raster as well. Nothing seems to help. I think the a different forum post https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/help-revit-does-not-produce-smooth-vector-cu... explains that it is a limitation of certain sizes of curves for Revit to draw. But I could easily be wrong. I am trying hard not to notice/care about it. 6" diameter circles aren't really of consequence on 1/8" (1:96) sheets I guess.

Did you try to use some other PDF printers such as Adobe PDF? It works well to me.

the only way to check is to share the part file here? thanks

[curtisridenour]

this is with Microsoft Print to PDF, PDF24 and BlueBeam. I do not have Adobe. All are set to 1:200 and printed at 100% Presentation settings. They all look the same.

Maybe you could attach a sample model which suffering this problem. And we can do some test on it.
