Hello,We've jumped into revit recently and apart from a few hiccups are well on our way. one of the biggest niggles we're dealing with at the moment is how to export PDFs

The project we're currently working on has a number of sheets we'd like to export into a single PDF

The problem is these sheets have a number of diferent sizes / orientation, etc (e.g. A1, A2, A3 / portrait, landscape)

So far we've only been able to export a PDF with 1 paper size and 1 orientation, regardless of how the sheet is arranged.

Can anyone offer any pointers as to how we can have the individual sheets of the pdf created using appropriate page sizes and orientations for each file?thanks

This is not a Revit issue.  You will not be able to do this as one export from Revit for most PDF writers.  You might find one that will like maybe bluebeam but I don't know.   After printing to PDF, we always used adobe to combine multiple sheets of different sizes.

Again - NOT a Revit issue.   It is your printer driver... in this case a PDF driver.  One of our Admins here developed a good PDF program.   It may do what you need.   Here is the website: http://www.xrev.com.au/

His name is Chris Price (Mr Spot here at RC).   Chris is very knowledgable.

Hi!

Please have a look on Docuflow; It prints sheets with different sizes and orientations (e.g. A1, A2, A3 / portrait, landscape) in 1 operation as you wish. This software is 65% faster than Bluebeam exporting PDFs and much simpler to use. For instance no longer requires to create manually paper sizes matching sheets in Revit. Also makes DWGs, IFC and drawing list in the same operation.
