Saving PDF Letter and Tabloid
There are multiple ways of saving a PDF from Revit in a Letter (8.5 x 11) or Tabloid (11x17) paper size. Personally, I find it easier to Print to PDF. Below are steps showing how to do so.
Ensure the view you want saved is on an appropriately sized Sheet
File
Print
Ensure Microsoft Print to PDF is selected for printer
Set up
6. Ensure the Orientation is correct direction to the selected Sheet
a. Portrait = Vertical Sheet
b. Landscape = Horizontal Sheet
7. Ensure size of paper is correct for Sheet
a. Letter = 8.5x11
b. Tabloid = 11x17
8. Paper Placement
a. Offset from corner: No Margin
9. Zoom
a. Zoom: 100%
10. Select OK
11. You can check to see if the page is set up correctly by hitting preview
12. If only one Sheet is needed for the PDF hit OK
13. If multiple Sheets are needed for the PDF:
a. Print Range
b. Selected views / sheets
c. Select sheets needed
d. Select combine multiple selected views / sheets into a single file
e. OK
14. A dialog box called Save Print Output should open
a. Save PDF in desired location
15. Save PDF as client’s last name, what the PDF is of, and date
a. Example: Sprenger Full Set 3.20.24
