    Default Printing to PDF - Screen Lines

    I am having some real (I know, as opposed to what, unreal?) trouble print to PDF from Revit 2013. When I preview my print, I see the right combination of black and white lines. the finished print however, only has screened lines for the model views in the sheets. Please see attached images for print settings and previews.AdobePreview2.PNGAdobePreview1.PNGPrintSetup1.PNGPrintSetup2.PNG

    Here is the resulting PDF.

    I have also tried various combinations of settings inside Adobe PDF, but can't get a satisfactory result.

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Have you tried printing with "Vector Processing" in lieu of "Raster Processing" under Revit's Print Setup?

    CADastrophe,

    Yes I tried that and it works great, with one exception. The text representing the signage are all png's. They print with a solid background when using the Vector Processing option. Not what we need in this case. Ultimately, I'd like to use modeled text, but we are having problems finding out what fonts were used, and then there is always the issue of whether we have them on our workstations.

    We've had this issue before with a client's logo as an image file on our Title Blocks. To get past this, I traced the image in AutoCAD and them imported the .dwg file* and used that in place of the image. No actual text was used in AutoCAD.

    *When importing into a Section/Elevation View, enable the option "Current View Only", which is located on the left side of the file selection dialog. Once imported into the View, it's probably best to set it to "Foreground".

    Hope this helps!
