Plot preview

[tmccar]

I am using the Foxit printer to print to PDF. I would like the plots to preview in Adobe Reader, rather than Foxit. How can this be changed?

I don't think that you are talking about the preview but rather the resultant PDF being opened after completion. You may be able to tell Foxit not to open the file when it's finished but I don't think you can tell it to open with Adobe. You would have to do that yourself.

Yes - it's the resultant opening of the pdf. I want it to open in Adobe, not Foxit.

- Open Windows File Explorer

- Right click on any PDF file > Open with > Choose another app

- Pick Adobe PDF Reader from the list and tick Always use this app to open .pdf file down the bottom

You must associate PDF files to open with Adobe.

I've tried associating the files, but it still opens the print in Foxit.

So you want to print and open the PDF is Adobe? 

- Print: change the printer to Adobe PDF when you print in Revit

- View: see my response earlier

I would like to use the Foxit driver and have the print opening in Adobe. I wonder if that's doable?

[RobDraw]

I think you need to find the option to turn off opening the file when done in Foxit and then open the PDF in Adobe yourself.

If you set Revit to print to Foxit and set Adobe as the default PDF application in Windows then it should work as you asked.
