Text printing larger than it should in Revit 2019

Anonymous

 Hi,

When printing my sheets to PDF the text is not reacting the way that it does on screen. It moves to the right and becomes larger. I have tried many different PDF exporting drivers and doing so makes no difference to my problem. It appears to be some kind of font issue and none of the solutions that I have found online have helped. Here is an example.

 

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous

 

Welcome to the Autodesk community! I see that you are a new visitor. 🙂

 

Sorry to hear that you are having issues. 

Which version of Revit are you using? As the first step can you confirm if you have your update installed for your Revit version.

 

Regards,

Hi @Anonymous

 

Thanks for confirming! Great to hear that the updates are in place.

 

As the next step, can you please check your graphics card compatibility and see if the driver is updated from the manufacturer's website.

 

If you still face the issues, please send me the below to troubleshoot further:

Revit files, journals, links if any, specify the font(s) and printer settings ...including all views printed in Revit, all Revit printer settings, and all PDF printer settings including advanced.

 

Let me know and I can create a separate private folder for you.

Regards,

Hi..

Can you check the "Font "used in the project is installed on the computer..

Sometimes files from one computer example using  "Font Type A " opened in another

computer which doesn't have that font, may create issues..

]

Best luck..

I'm also being affected by this printing Issue but in Revit 2018. I have gone through the motions of checking fonts, Checking Addins,  reinstalling entire laptop, trying other PDF drivers and still no luck. don't affect any other software for example CAD, just Revit. all software's are up to date, anyone had any luck with this problem?

Hi @Anonymous

 

I see that you are a new visitor. Welcome to the Autodesk community!

 

A few questions to understand your issues better:

1) Which Revit version and can you verify if updated with latest fixes?

2) Which PDF driver and can you check if this occurs with any other PDF printer?

3) Does it look OK in the Revit preview?

4) Have you tried with another font?

5) Is this specific to a model/ view or user?

6) Is the graphics card updated with the latest driver from the manufacturer's website?

7) What version of boot camp, parallels or windows?

 

A journal and a screencast, along with print settings will help further.

 

Looking forward to your reply update.

 

Regards,
