Anyone HELP!

I have been trying to print my Revit drawings and everytime, it prints a black bar at all 4 sides of the paper around the image. I have attached an example in this PDF file. I gave the Revit file to my friend and his worked fine. He did nothing to the file and his worked fine. I have sent the file to printers and PDF - all with the same result. Anyone have any suggestions? i have also attached the Revit file.

FYI....the reason for the black bars....your using the Educational Version of Revit... When you have the full version you won't get the bars..;)

You are the smartest person in the world. Thank you so much, I spent hours trying to figure this out.

I'm surprised that your pal could get it to print properly. I was under the impression that the educational version watermarked the file and that the watermark carried through even if the file was opened by another user on a licensed copy:?:

Yeah, I tried to print it and it worked just fine...

There is a post on the Autodesk Forums that says that a file can be printed just fine with a full version.

What other limitations are there? I was trying to create a material parameter in a family and it was giving me a hard time.
