This is not a Revit problem - it is your PDF writer. You need to load the latest driver for that or find another PDF writer like CutePDF.

Outside Acrobat writer I use Cutepdf as well which is also free and works ok but not so good on batch plotting?, only single plots. I will have to try out pdfcreator myself.

We use cute for combined PDF's but yes, for batch plotting, you have to furnish a name for each individual PDF in the order they are created.

Yes, combersome but free none the less. Too bad Autodesk could not strike a deal with Adobe and build the PDF driver right in.

Pdfcreator will batch print (auto save) without having to enter the file names, and will combine the drawings to a single pdf easily. that's the only reason I prefer it to others.

I'm going to jump in...
I'm using Revit LT 2013. I've been using CutePDF forever with few complaints. But recently I started preparing light renderings in Revit for some of my clients. I've been trying to place a perspective rendering (shade/shadow) on a page with a floor plan...or four rendered elevations on a sheet. Nothing fancy...just to give my clients a little extra.
I usually print everything to PDF and then issue those documents to outside printers and/or print those documents off on my own printer. It's always worked fine. But...with the incorporation of renderings into PDF I'm having problems. Stuff is sporatically being left out....large parts of my drawings.
I grabbed a copy of PDFCreator...same problem.
So...my quesion is this:
"Is this a Revit, Adobe or software thing....or is this a hardware thing? (i.e. RAM, Video Card, Processor, etc.)" I'm just looking for a little advice. Thanks.

Hi there
Actually ,i am not the user of Revit Architect before.I usually print the pdf files using this code:
using RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic;using RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.Core;using RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.Codec;using RasterEdge.Imaging.PDF;RasterEdgeImaging PDF = new RasterEdgeImaging();public void Pdf Processor Print();{PDFInputFile = (@"C:/1.pdf");Printer = (@"C:/HP Color LaserJet 5550 PCL 6");};PDF. PdfProcessorPrint(@"C:/1.pdf", @"C:/HP Color LaserJet 5550 PCL 6");Maybe you can have a try.Hope to help you.

if the issue persists with different programs, id look toward maybe
turn off hardware acceleration if its on.
how many dpi are the images being printed to ? maybe try printing to say 150 or 300dpi
if no good maybe ram.
how old is the 'puter? and how much ram etc are you running.
cheers
