Design Review loading errors

[Jshaver]

When printing pdf files to .dwf and attempting to open them in Design Review certain sheets cause Design Review to freeze. It is the same sheets every time. Oddly enough the same file works flawlessly in the standard DWF Viewer.

I have experienced similar behaviour when creating dwf files from Revit 2008. Anytime raster content is present Design Review does not seem to be able to handle it and results in a crash.

Are others experiencing this as well? What can be done to resolve this error.

Thanks in advance,

We solved the issue with the converted PDF files.
These must be converted using the licensed version of Adobe Acrobat 7 or 8.
The free viewer versions still create the dwf files but freeze up Design Review. I still dont understand why it is not a problem for the DWF viewer to display them.

A possible workaround for the Revit dwf errors would be to create PDF files and then use the licensed version of Acrobat 7/8 to convert to DWF...

I'm having the same issues even when generating the dwf from adobe. Not to mention the file turns out being larger than the pdf in the first place 18M vs. 22M.
Anyone know where I'm going wrong here? 24x36 sheets?

I am having this problem too, when creating DWFs from CorelDraw. The ones I print from Acad08 work fine. But these Corel files, which did have a large bitmap inserted, would time out and crash before the file ever finished loading.

Did anyone find a fox for this? I need to be able to print directly to DWF without sidestepping through PDF. No one needs more steps in their work.
