    Default Printing to PDF

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am running Revit Architecture 2011. When I print to PDF using CutePDF and I have elements hidden they sdo not show as hidden when the PDF is complete and I am looking at it. How can I fix this?

    Doesn't Revit Architecture 2011 have the ability to print or export directly to PDF?

    Why are you using CutePDF?

    Try another PDF program. I use PrimoPDF at home.

    Haven't used CutePDF in a while.

    Have you ever ran into the poblem that I stated above. I figure if it is hidden then it would not show up in the PDF. I will have to check out PrimoPDF.

    If it is hidden with the V/G settings then it shouldn't print. If it is hidden using the temporary overrides then Revit will ask you if you want to print with the temporary overrides.

    Doesn't Adobe have a free pdf printer driver?
