Pages rotate when printing from Revit to the Bluebeam PDF Printer

Applies to:

  • Revu 21
  • Revu 20

Problem

Pages rotate at random when printing from Revit to the Bluebeam PDF Printer.

Cause

As printed sheets begin to open in Revu, Revu temporarily becomes the active printer application. This changes the document's orientation settings and causes it to rotate.

Solution

To access and use Bluebeam plugins with Revu 21, you must have a Core or Complete subscription plan. Visit the section that corresponds to your subscription access for a workaround.

Revu 21 Core or Complete, Revu 20 CAD, or Revu 20 eXtreme

Print via the Bluebeam plugin. Begin by ensuring the Bluebeam plugin is enabled:

  1. Close Revit.
  2. In the Windows Start menu, type Bluebeam Administrator.
  3. Press Enter.
  4. On the Plugins tab, select your software.
  5. Select OK.

Next, print your PDF via the Bluebeam plugin:

  1. Open Revit.
  2. On the Add-Ins tab, under the Bluebeam Add-Ins panel, select Create PDF.
  3. In the Save As dialog, enter a name for the file and save it to your desired location.
  4. Select Save. Revu opens displaying your newly generated PDF.

Revu 21 Basics or Revu 20 Standard

Clear the Open in Viewer printer option.

  1. In the Windows Start menu, type Bluebeam Administrator.
  2. On the Printer tab, deselect Open In Viewer.
  3. Select OK.
