If you find Revit issuing of drawings painful. That is, having to manual name each PDF file or DWF file because revit won't use automatic naming in the format you need, having to manually coordinate sheet information from Revit, to the DWG/PDG/DWF exports, to the transmittal or online document management system, then check this out... Xrev Transmit (coming late October/early November 2010) http://www.xrev.com.au With Xrev Sheets & Xrev Transmit PRO to follow soon after.

I've been using it for about a month now, and I can't say enough good things about it. It's making my life all sorts of easy.
Their advertised time savings for making PDFs seem to be right on the mark, and I don't have to babysit the process any more.
No more forgetting to change the save path, it gets saved with the project so PDFs from one project don't end up in the wrong folder.
I have different setups for issue PDFs and for in-house use, so I can quickly make a set with only the sheet number and name to send out, and another with sheet number/name, project number and current date for in-house.
Because it's now quickly and easily done, I've been making a full set of PDFs before I close out of a project for the day (using the in-house setup), so now when someone needs a plot or a PDF to send to someone I don't have to wait for a project to open, and it's immediately obvious to anyone who needs to send a PDF out which one is the latest, and how out of date it is.
From talking to their support guys it sounds like my biggest issues with it (no simple way to share setups across workstations, no ability to edit sheet sets from Xrev) are going to be fixed soon.
