This might be a problem for this PDF printer
When I use the "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer it asks for a destination and then uses it correctly.
Also works fine for this one which also asks for a destination and then uses it correctly.
So that's odd ...
I have written to the https://www.cadzation.com helpdesk, it's their virtual printer
I take it you are trying to print without the SaveAs Dialog box.
What it the code in the C:\Program Files\AcroPlot\PDF-XChange 5.0 AcroPlot\titrules.js file? This is the file that is responsible for parsing the filenames sent out by various different programs since there is no standard in Windows on how the filename is sent to the printer driver. By default we do not have any Revit specific code and 90% of all programs just send the filename and not the full path and filename out so for most programs the titrules.js really isn't used.
Also what it the location of the Revit file you are printing from? I'm wondering if it's a shared drive and it's not properly getting parsed our from how Revit sends it out to the driver.
And what are the settings on the Save Tab of the PDF-XChange for AcroPlot Pro Printing Preferences.
@DuncanLithgow Yeah pyRevit basically asks Revit to print the PDFs. It's the Revit print settings, and the printer that decide where and how to store the files. pyRevit's only control on this process is hacking the sheet order, and providing the filenames. Thanks for tracking down! :D
I'm guessing you made a change in the titrules.js file then. If so what command did you use and we can look at adding it in for future releases if it doesn't effect any existing users.
@azhouseboater thanks so much for lookign into this issue
I haven't personally made any changes to the titrules.js file. Shall I send it to you at a cadzation email address so you can take a look?
The Revit project is "in" Autodesk BIM360 cloud platform with a cached file on the local C drive.
Here is the Save Tab:
I'm marking this issue as closed since it doesn't seem to need an action from me. But please keep the conversation going and feel free to re-open and @ me anytime
sure @eirannejad I'll let you know if @azhouseboater and I find something helpful pyRevit could do.
Describe the bug When I try and make a combined PDF it appears to work and the PDFs do spool - but the file is now where to be found. The spooling dialogue claims it's going to C:\\
( for single pages it saves to C:\Users\dli\Desktop which is also a problem ... but that's an issue to be fixed with #988 )
To Reproduce plot a pdf folder combining several sheets/views
Expected behavior It should be obvious to me where the files go.
Screenshots It seems to be sending them to C:\\ - which doesn't exist![billede](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3223028/109180591-50853a00-778b-11eb-82ab-c9324889a9d7.png)
