PDF Sheet Size

[sechanbask]

Hello,

I'm always frustrated when I would like to print PDF with PDFCreator. With Revit, I have to selected the paper size for every sheet.

Is it possible to create PDF with the same paper size as the sheet title blocks ?

I know addons exists, but I haven't try it:

You can see here a great GUI :

I'm not following. Revit uses the sheet size defined in its native print window

Closing since this is a question/request and not an issue. Keeping the conversation open.

Hello,

You can print PDF with the good size one by one. But on a big project I have 10 sheets size 914x1200, 15 sheets size 914x1350, 2 sheets size 914x2000. So imagine the time I waste to print some PDF on second floor 914x1200 zone 2 914x2500 zone 2, third floor 914x1350. And time I waste to rename every file.

We can not publish it in one run.

There is several workaround with dynamo script but I never make it working. You can read this thread to understand the usefullness.

How's this?

Got it to work in single page print mode with variable "Print Settings" per sheet. Automatically picks the appropriate print settings based on the sheet title block size. Needs fine tuning tho but it works.

It is wonderful !! When do you think It will be available ?

Does it works with pdfcreator ? I d'rather keep my virtual print pdfcreator.

Is it possible to name PDF from shared parameters I have filled into the sheet, during printing ?

The PDF Rename using parameter data functionality is vital in projects nowadays, and would greatly assist projects.
