I am having issues with prints showing up with missing graphics. Anyone have any solutions?
Attached are two images one directly from Revit and one of the the PDF I created. You can see the missing parts. The stair on the sheet is a link and viewd by "linked view".
I get the same result printing to our printer or to PDF.

Thanks.

What is your output device? I've seen similar results to our KIP Plotter based upon which drivers were in place and if KIP Request or KIP Script was used.

We had a problem with Revit printing images to the KIP (other printers came out correctly & no issues w/ AutoCAD). Figured out that we needed to set the KIP output format to "KIPscript". Now it prints fine & it didn't affect AutoCAD.

Remember in Print Setup, under 'Hidden line view' to select 'Remove lines using: Vector processing' - just a thought

The PDF that I produced was done using PDF995 free download. We have been using this program for years and I don't recall having these issues before.
We have been using "Remove lines using: Vector processing" so that is not the issue.
By the way this project is still using Revit 2011.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Try CutePDF and PDFcreator - both good free PDF printers. Maybe one of them will help. If they all display the same problem than it must be a Revit issue. I have seen similar problems before - I think we just decided to live with it because it was stairs and the stair manufacturer makes their own drawings anyway.

Unfortunately I have been forced to live with it.
The other unfortunate thing is that I am a consultant doing Revit work for another firm and they are not as quick to live with it which reflects badly on my work.
I will try the other PDF creators you suggested.
Thanks.

I just created another PDF using the CutePDF printer and I got the same results.
This must be a Revit problem.
