Hello! 

I have been tryiung to print to PDF for over 2 hours now. I am trying to print views in Revit to PDF but it seems to have stopped and the progress bar has not moved for a while. I have tried a couple times and it stops in the same spot. Any solutions?

Hi Anna,

 

First off "Print to PDF" has nothing to do with Adobe. The PDF format is now an international standard and is not owned by Adobe, it is under ISO standards. If the text states "Print to Adobe PDF," than you are using Adobe software.

 

So, do you own any paid for Acrobat product (as opposed to Adobe Reader which is a free application by Adobe so that you can read any PDF)?

 

I had to look it up and Rivit is owned by AutoCAD. You might want to check their site to find out how best to convert an AutoCAD document into a PDF if you do not own Acrobat DC or Acrobat Pro DC.

 

Sorry, wish I knew more.

Hi! Yes. I actually own almost all adobe products. I get most of them through school. So, when I print I do click the "Adobe print to PDF" which is why I came here. I should have been more clear. 

I was also thinking it may be the Revit project I was working on but I also tested it with another, smaller file picture and had the same issue. 

I'm at a lossd with it but I don't need it to work right this moment with my classes so I'll move forward and see if I can figure it out as I go.

OK, I'm glad to hear that (you'd be amazed at the number of people who think that they have all the capability of Acrobat when they only have Reader and then get nasty about it).

 

Look, I've never used AutoCAD but what happens when you take an AutoCAD file and open it with Acrobat? Does it give you the opportuity to convert to PDF?

 

Otherwise, I'm at a loss from shear ignorance on my part. Hopefully someone else can step in here and guide you better. I did want to make sure that you had the proper tools and you do.

 

Good luck!
