Revit 2023 - Export PDF function

[anthony_hendrick]

Hi ,

I am constantly experiencing an error with the naming convention of my pdfs while using the export function.

I receive the error below (it's in French but is says that is cannot assign the name parameters to the views or sheets selected). So essentially I cannot automatically name my pdfs using the ''sheet name'' and ''sheet number'' parameters. 

What is strange is that I did get it to work a couple of times but I do not know what I did specifically to make it work. I get the impression that I had not even done anything differently. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

thanks

Anthony

There is a KB article on this and the causes

There is also an associated link to the Ideas Community on this subject at the bottom which adds more clarity and a great future update suggestion
