I'm trying to figure out a way to print my revit project to pdf. I've been using PDF995, and am also trying CutePDF. Here are the issues I'm running into.
There doesn't seem to be easy a way to print all sheets at once. If I choose "selected views/sheets" and select all my sheets then both CuteFTP and PDF995 try to print each sheet to a sperate file. This would be fine, but the default name for the files is the project filename. I could rename them manualy, but I don't know which is which until they are converted to PDF and I open them up. If I try printing each sheet induvidualy by selecting "current window" it still names the PDF by the project name rather then the sheet name or number.
The secon issue I'm having is that my project contains sheets with different paper sizes. However, it seems that whether I print to a plotter, dwf, or pdf I'm always forced to pick a single paper size. Sheets that do not match this size end up getting cropped or scaled.
