2D PDF printing support

2D PDF printing support

Not exactly an original idea, but provide a built-in PDF printer

Today I found myself at the nexus of several jobs that needed to be plotted to pdf for one reason or another.  In ACA, I was able to get a pdf in less than 30 seconds with a double click to open the file and three subsequent clicks to get a pdf that could send to a colleague.  In Revit, I had two jobs, from two different releases that needed to be printed to pdfs.  Each pdf required 12 clicks and four different windows to get to the same place.  That doesn't include the time it took to open the files!

 

Until the world runs on 3D, 2D documentation is still one of the main jobs of Revit.  So why is it so bad at it?

 

If the internet weren't over-run with overwhelming frustration about this issue, I could see this as an oversight on Autodesk's part.  However, since it's routinely ignored in every release, I can only guess that the fix would be too expensive on Autodesk's part and they are just shutting out the discontent.

 

 

 

What we need is fore Autodesk to replace dwf functionalities with pdf. * Export to pdf * pdf markups And top it with Exporting to single files and combine files at the same time :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

I respectfully disagree with ViviNyeHuusAndersen about the need for Autodesk to integrate PDF markup into Revit. I've worked with many clients over my career that marked up pdfs. Nearly all of them return scanned markup images or PDF's that are compilations of those images, and most do not use a PDF markup program, like Adobe Acrobat. So viewing the markups on a second screen is sufficient for everything that I need. I also subscribe to Adobe Creative Suite so I just print to PDF from Revit. I also use Acrobat to yellow mark corrections in markup pdfs. I strongly support, however, having a Revit PDF export feature. Aside: I loved the dwf markup capabilities in AutoCAD and used them to communicate with my students but found that clients didn't want Design Review for markup, so the worthwhile features of DWF went unused. DWF is still great for exporting 3d models so clients can view by orbiting around them. PDF no longer supports 3d viewing.

@Anonymous "PDF no longer supports 3d viewing."? Says who? I just made a 3D PDF last week (using the Bluebeam Revu add-in). You can even control visibility of "layers" (walls, ceilings, etc.) in the viewer.
@Anonymous just because your clients aren't mature for this, it could be others were? DWF markup does not work as design review has many shortcomings. Here, Bluebeam would be optimal. In my company, it will be for pure internal communication in the early design phase. Is ok to disagree:cara_que_sonríe_con_ojos_sonrientes: That's the best way to develop:símbolo_del_pulgar_hacia_arriba:

Dear Revit team,

 

Could you please add a PDF printer to Revit just like the one that comes with Autocad(Autocad high quality PDF print)? This would make it a little easier to print A0 sheets to PDF without needing to install additional software, that would be very nice.

Thanks in advance!

 

Kind regards,

There is already an idea for this

2D PDF printing support 

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones - please combine

 

@jeroen.van.halderen - it is also on the Revit roadmap to implement

2D PDF Printing 

Yes, I saw the suggestion and the revit roadmap after I posted my idea, so this post can be closed now.

Thank you @wr.marshall , and thank you for your submission, @jeroen.van.halderen . I will combine posts.

We are pleased to say that this has been implemented in Revit 2022!

Great :cara_que_sonríe_con_ojos_sonrientes: @kimberly_fuhrman-jones , but it's been 5 years since the first request :cara_disgustada:

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones thank you! this step towards a little bit more integrated design environment makes my life a lot easier,

now it's in revit 2022

Yes! It's finally here. And extra kudos for <Use Sheet Size> because that really is exactly what was needed.
This is going to save a lot of time

Yeah, that really is a significant improvement. Also the PDF export. Everything currently in frequent use with me.

@Tarek_K @kimberly_fuhrman-jones hasnt this already been implemented ?

so the first step with pdf is made... what we're still missing are options for different pdf-typs like conformance level.

 

PDF/A - Wikipedia

 

That would not only be great but for us, really necessary.

So we need anther wrighter to "convert" all files into the right format.

@wr.marshall There is an issue with our forums...the Implemented status has vanished. We are working with our support team to get them restored.
