Revit Printing to Pdf's
We have gone to using DWF for Revit output via "Export DWF", and if PDF is required, we print out of the DWF file. So far, DWF has given us much smaller, quicker files than PDF.
However, there was an incident in our office wherein the users cannot produce a PDF directly from the Revit program nor out of a DWF file. The problem was due to a custom font file, an extended Arial font. Some of the characters in this extended font file are interfering during the creation of a PDF print.
We received the following errors, an excerpt:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: put ]%%

I have tried more than 3 PDF printers and all of them gave the same error, FeB 500 symbol will not print. The only PDF printer that will work is doPDF version 7, developed by Softland that could be found in the web.
I would like to thank the maker of this wonderful PDF print program. This saved us a lot of man hours.
