I'm using Revit 9.1 on a 64 bit machine trying to print multiple sheets to pdfs (not multiple pdfs in one pdf file). I can print individual sheets to print & view but cannot print multiple sheets which are viewable as pdf's. I can only print multiple sheets and just print them through Oce but unable to view these. We currently use PDF995 for all of our pdf printing from autocad & revit.

Anyone have a solution or work around for this?

My current work around for this solution is to use a 32 bit machine which is our community/walk-up computer.

I understand about DWF's but I need pdf's which can be used for our printing/viewing, for subs, owners/clients, and supervisor viewing. Pdf's are universal for everyone and make my job much easier overall.

all responses will be greatly appreciated.

If you have a PDF printer (like Cute PDF) you can use my workaround:

 

Print the pages you need to a DWF so you have a multipage DWF file.   Open the DWF in DWF Viewer and then print to Cute PDF.  Save, open, preview, send to client Smile

 

HTH.

A trick I use is to choose a PDF 'printer' such as Adobe Acrobat as the print device and at the same time check the 'print to file' box.  This will send all the print files out at once and name them with a .prn extension.  Regardless of the .prn extension they are really PostScript files at this point in time.  I can submit them to our PS printer just fine or the real trick is to use Acrobat Professional, select all the .prn files and combine them into one PDF.  PostScript and PDF are almost the same thing and the conversion takes a few seconds a page.

thanks for the suggestions as of right now if I don't find a solution I will end up using the quickest and most productive solution.

A few seconds a sheet is ok but when I have 400-600 sheets in a set and having to do this everytime something changes will be time consuming. And things do change.

The dwf will do for one of my projects because they requested dwf's.

As for the Cute PDF, I don't have a clue what that is but will look into it. My company has corporate guru's who test/tryout all software so getting something just for me or a few people will probably be out the door. 

thanks again

If I'm not mistaken, CutePDF is virtually the same thing as PDF995 (which is what I use too).  The idea is to get a multisheet document to print in the first place, which is why the dwf was suggested.  Then print from the DWF viewer to a (any) PDF printer and it should come out being a multisheet PDF.

The only problem with this method is if you have sheets in the set that are NOT in revit because they can not easily be added to the DWF file that revit will output.

Free PDF printer.  Works like a charm.
