Transparency of mask/filled region looses after export to pdf

In Revit the transparency applies to mask region but after exporting to Pdf it becomes solid. I've tried couple of times exporting using mask region and filled region, also tried Raster/vector processing but still the same output. What could be the possible solution.! See the attached image below

TIA

Hi,

I did a test with one of my files. Both masking region and filled region got exported to PDF with transparency. I tried with Microsoft PDF Export and internal Revit PDF export with the same result. So your behavior seems atypical to mee.

Aww.. That's weird. I'm using Bluebeam as Pdf viewer and just did a try with Microsoft pdf exporter but still the same output. Unfortunately there's no other pdf exporter in our org.

Do you think any other possible fixes?

Thanks

Wireframe View?

 

Is "Masking" checked  or unchecked in Fill Properties?

I didn't get what you mean about wireframe, but i did tried checked/unchecked Masking in the properties but no luck.

Is the View Visual Style set to Wireframe? That would explain it.

No, i did it in drafting view so it was in "Hidden Line" i just tried exporting with "Wireframe" which again turns out solid but this time real solid color.(see image below)

Which Revit version?  Did you print to PDF via Bluebeam PDF printer or export via the Bluebeam PDF add-in?
