Easy PDF Print

Introduction

When working on projects in Revit, exporting multiple sheets to PDF can be a time-consuming and error-prone task. Ensuring that each sheet follows a specific naming convention and adjusting the paper size and orientation for different sheets manually can be tedious, especially in large projects. Easy PDF Print is a plugin designed to streamline this process and save you valuable time.

Features of Easy PDF Print

Easy PDF Print offers several features that simplify the PDF printing process in Revit:

Print Setup Manager

The Print Setup Manager allows you to select, edit, or add a print setup for your sheets. You can also override the page size and orientation by a specific value or using a predefined parameter for more advanced jobs. This feature gives you greater control over the printing settings, ensuring that your PDFs are generated accurately and efficiently.

Sheet Set Manager

With the Sheet Set Manager, you can easily choose sheets either manually or by sheet sets. This feature also includes a sheet set managing tool that helps you edit existing sheet sets or create new ones. By simplifying the sheet selection process, Easy PDF Print makes it easier to organize and print your project sheets.

Combine Parameters

By default, Easy PDF Print uses the "Sheet Number" for the output PDF file names. However, you have the option to add prefixes and suffixes to customize the file names. These prefixes and suffixes can be custom or based on sheet parameters, allowing you to define unique naming conventions for your PDF files. This feature gives you flexibility in how your files are named and organized.

Using Easy PDF Print with PDF Drivers

Easy PDF Print is compatible with several popular PDF print drivers, including Adobe PDF, novaPDF, Microsoft Print to PDF, PDFCreator, PDF24, and Bullzip PDF Printer. It is recommended to set the preferences of your selected PDF driver from the "Printers & scanners" settings in Windows before using it with the plugin. For PDFCreator, PDF24, and Bullzip PDF Printer, you can adjust preferences using their respective settings applications. Please note that the file naming process may not work properly with PDFCreator and Bullzip PDF Printer due to their built-in settings.

Conclusion

Easy PDF Print is a valuable plugin for Revit users who frequently need to export multiple sheets to PDF. With its intuitive features for print setup management, sheet selection, and parameter customization, this plugin simplifies the PDF printing process and helps you save time on your projects. If you are looking for a reliable tool to streamline your PDF printing workflow in Revit, Easy PDF Print is definitely worth trying out.
