I want to export my site plan and some linework perspectives with shadows on, but both the linework and shadows disappear when sent to print to PDF.

Linework alone prints fine without shadow. Linework with shadow appears perfectly on print preview. Upon print of linework and shadow together, neither appear.

Printer settings are high quality raster in grayscale.

Attached captures of sheet, print preview, printer settings, and exported sheet to illustrate. I am using Revit Architecture 2011.

Shadows never export to CAD but I believe you are asking about printing.  Your settings appear to be correct so I think this may be a driver issue.  Try a different PDF printer.

I downloaded a new PDF printer and it printed perfectly. Thanks WWHub!
