Printing sheets to PDF issue

[SabinaK4RXQ]

Hello, 

I have problem when printing sheets to pdf. Every time I try to print one plan, Revit turns to raster printing even though I set it to vector printing. Result is a portion of a plan printed, even though I chose to print the whole plan (set zoom to 100% and ticked vector printing).

What am I doing wrong? 

Thank you!

I would assume you have something in the View which forces a Raster output, do you get a warning like that in the link?

"Revit will use raster printing because this view uses..." while printing a sheet to PDF format in R...

Yes,  I get that message every time. Sometimes I manage to get the right print, sometimes not. 

I´ve read the content on that link you provided, I have only these overrides in Filters tab. Do they affect the print? What if I need these overrides?

Are you using the default PDF option in Revit?  Try using another is possible or a Third-Party PDF printer

Plane hidden line views typically export as vector PDF's. If the view has shading, shadows, point clouds, sketchy lines, depth cueing, gradients, or coordination models. That view will export as a raster image.

Thank you all for the answers. I tried another pdf printer as well, but the result was the same. 

However, totally by accident, I found out that a pdf image was somehow in the free space area besides the sheet (as in the screenshot below). When I deleted that image, everything worked as it should. 

I hope someone will find this useful. I really don't have any clue how this image got into this area.
