Revu creates a blank PDF from AutoCAD

Applies to:

  • Revu 21
  • Revu 20

Problem

A blank page is created from the Bluebeam plugin for AutoCAD or the PDF printer.

Solution

The active page size is smaller than the desired printable area. Configure print settings in AutoCAD or the Bluebeam plugin to include the desired drawing area.

Change the Page setup in AutoCAD:

  1. In AutoCAD, go to the Output tab and select Plot (Ctrl+P).
  2. In the Paper Size dropdown, choose a paper size appropriate for your drawing area.
  3. Select OK.

Use the Bluebeam plugin to override the AutoCAD Page setup:

This feature is only available with a Core, Complete, or Max plan. For Revu 20, you must have a CAD or eXtreme edition license.
  1. From the Output tab, select Change Settings.
  2. Select the Page Setup tab.
  3. In the Page Setup dropdown, select Custom.
  4. In the Paper Size dropdown, choose a paper size appropriate for your drawing area.
  5. Select OK.
