I exported to pdf (tried cute pdf and pdf creator) and seems like when i drag the file in photoshop CS3 it opens it completely wrong scale:S:S

when i export to pdf I select the scale on the bottom of revit pages next to detail level to be the one i want to be plottes right?then i did settings:current window  ,zoom 100%, center,a3 landscape ,black lining... wth is wrong with it??

in photoshop(when it opens document) the settings i tick constrain proportions -and it shows the ones i saved in which is 297x420mm a3

and i put 300 resolution

then i go canvas size and it shows 297.03x 210 which isnt the one was supposed to be.. and htats probably why the scale is wrong..

any suggestions?

hey guys,

I think my previews ones were messed up cause i took them from autocad 2010 to 2007(2010 didnt export pdf for a reason) so I guess even the program got confused haha.

i took all drawings to pdf from revit automatically and looks fine so far..just now I have to do a detailed one and I exported to dwg ,hope it wont get messed up again.

crwinchester the aspect is double as you said I checked so its fine for a reason resolution makes sizes different, i thought that was for quality?:S

nastyclown I use photoshop cause Im used to using that one for presentations.. I dont change the architectural images, just very little. but I have illustator too so I'll check it out too.  yeah that media box works now thanks!!
