Using Bluebeam Revu as PDF Plotter

PostPosted: Tue Oct 05, 2021 5:45 pm

I normally use my A3 printer and print most plans in 1:200 on A3 for A1 plotting.

I have a project that requires a B1 sized plan and I have Bluebeam Revu which DataCad seems to recognize as a PDF plotter, as it appears in the plotter drop Down Menu.

When I select B1 size data cad just ignores whatever size and will only print in A1. When I select 1:100 and choose the Quick Layout command it only covers about 75% of the layout and regardless of my choosing say an A0 or B0 which is larger than B1 it does the same thing. So I have a project which I cannot effectively plot.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

You could give PDF-XChange Lite a try, I think that's a free version and has a couple of B1 sizes.
