Schedule not formatting correctly when exported to PDF.

The schedules I created look fine on screen, but when I export them to PDF, the text spills over the column boundaries.

Its probably a font replacement problem.

Make sure your font is embedded when exporting/printing.

Happens sometimes. I always use the "export to PDF" function. I don't know if using Bluebeam or similar is better. Try some methods and see if it helps. 

 

I don't have a solution, but no, you are not crazy.

Are you placing them on a sheet, and exporting the sheet?

 

Or are you trying to export the schedules directly?

Can you explain how to make sure the font is embedded? I'm not sure what that means.

Most PDF printers that I've used have an option in the settings to embed or capture fonts so that the PDF is a faithful reproduction of what is in the original document.

Here's an example (this is the PDF printer which DiRoots Prosheets uses):-

If you don't have that setting then one of the fonts on your PC will be substituted in place of the document font and might not be an exact match.

I don't know if the Revit built in exporter has such a setting, I've never used it.
