Docuflow Forum Page 3 forum

Hello,

I'm working on a large workshared project containing many links (25 Buildings, each in its own workset). I realized PDF export using Docuflow consumes much more resources and time. at least 30x more than printing manually. Also, file size is larger than those exported manually.

Worksets of buildings that do not show in a specific view are manually turned off for each view. But it looks like Docuflow is printing them. Not 100% sure of this.

I don't know what is causing this but would be happy to help to pinpoint the issue.

Today, I upgraded to the latest version (4.19a) and the issue still occurs. The following message begun to show : "The PDF driver is taking too long to generate this PDF file. Would you like to wait 30 seconds more?"

Hello.
I have a specific project where I need a very large pdf page. When I save the page size 4520mm x 3096mm it gets a blank PDF which is 4kb. All smaller sheets print without problem. Is there any solution to this problem.
I am using version 4.19.0.0 and revit 2020.

Greetings.

when printing large sheet (450cm * 90cm) docuflow (version 4.19) print in on A4...

any suggestion?

I have been experienced a issue that it is taking too much time to create the dwg/pdf file of the sheets.

Everytime when I had to generate a PDF file from a large sheet shows up a message "The PDF driver is taking too long to generate this PDF File. Would you like to wait 30 seconds more?" that requires to select yes or no to continue the process.

I would like to know if there is a way to avoid this message automatically? Because I have used the plugin along the night at the office and I didn't stand in front of the PC to click everytime to continue the process.

Hi

I'm trying the product before purchase. Seems to be a problem with saved sheet list. 

It worked a couple of times but now even if I select a saved list, it publishes all the sheets of the project... 

Can you please come back to me ? 

Is there some documentation on the automation functionality? The User Guide has nothing on the subject as far as I have observed. I'd prefer not having to discover the rules by trial and error.

I need to run a script after Publishing that strips accents from all the file names and replaces all spaces with underscore characters. And I need this to be my default setting, so it has to take into account the general target directory of the Publish job.

Dear Support Team

I recently renewed a Desktop License of Docuflow from 2019, but I cant seem to install it.

The installer is saying that the license is being used on another computer. The FAQ is telling me to uninstall the old application but, I can’t do that. The computer we used for this license for was thrown away 1 year ago.

The “release” button on the license page doesn’t seem to work. The installer still says that the license is being used.

How can I fix this?

Hi ! I just want to be able to delete all ZDocuflow paper sizes from the printer combobox of Revit.....I tried everything ...uninstall docuflow, uninstall revit, uninstall PDF24, uninstall Bullzip PDF printer...but after reinstalling Revit the ZDocuflow paper sizes format are still there....and I don't understand why? Is there a method to remove that files manually? please give me an answer. Ty

I have one sheet in a project that will not print correctly. It seems to orient to portrait orientation and shift to the right. I have tried printing it by itself and I have also tried printing in a batch of other sheets. When I batch print; all of the other sheets are correct except for this one. I assumed it may be related to that sheet. I created a new sheet in revit and moved the view from the first to the new one, but it still did not print correctly. I am in Revit 2021 and using Docuflow 4.18. Please advise. 

Hello Archi

Congratulations with your new website. 

We are - however - having major issues ever since the updates. Here is a summery of some of the issues we are having:

• Network licenses getting occupied without anyone using the plugin. Seemingly a network license is now "booked" upon just starting Revit and not when the actual plugin is activated - leaving our licenses occupied.
• License key not working: Seemingly our license key for manual addition of workplace machines is not working.
• No contact information: I am missing a support phone number for critical cases like these.

Sincerely

Rasmus

When printing a batch of sheets, the orientation is always portrait. I have changed the settings for landscape everywhere, permitted access to bullzip and yet the print are still in portrait. Please advise.

Hi,

I just purchased and tested 4.18 prior to resolve issues Revit has on VDI prininting using Bluebeam. I squishes all the text like kerning it together.  I see you released 4.19 and installed it now Docuflow is making the Bluebeam issue even more extreme!

Hi,

I'm getting an error using docuflow to create dwfs and pdfs. When I select "Export all sheets into a single file", instead of getting 1 file with 4 sheets I get 4 files with:
File #1: Sheet #1

File #2: Sheets #1 and #2

File #3: Sheets #1, #2 and #3

File #4: Sheets #1, #2, #3 and #4.

This is annoying and takes a lot longer when I have dozens of sheets to publish.

If you need further information I'd be happy to provide. I'm using Revit 2021 and Docuflow 4.14

Hi Docuflow,

We have several users who are using Docuflow Currently in our company, We have realised it is a valiable tool and the company wishes to consolidate all the individual serial keys purchased into one account and purchase more keys for other staff members.

Reason for consolidating is so that one person can manage the renewal of licences :)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind Regards,

Max

Hi,

New user, testing the product with a floating license potentially to widen out to a larger office. So have a few questions on first review of the software.

It seems the customisation is Revit project specific? E.g. I custom the PDF file naming which seems to be saved for the project, but resets back to default in each new project. I see on the userguide this is as intended, and there is a settings file. Where is the settings file and how is it copied between projects? We use Autodesk BIM360 so unsuure if/how this works as the revit file is cloud based rather than on a local server.

Is there a way to pre-program these settings so that when the software is rolled out office wide its already setup how we intend? E.g. a reg file maybe? 

Thanks

Hi,

Recently we bought a couple Desktop Subscriptions to give to our employees.

Some of these employees were using a floating license and are now getting a regular license.

The users with a current active floating license need to be released from said floating license so I can give them a regular one.

How do I release them from the floating license seeing how there is not option to do so from the license page?

cheers

Now it's only possible to print sheets on large format.
There's no option to select views. Sometime i just need to print views without making sheets.

Version 4.13 is released.

Changes:

Advanced Filename: Support for null/empty values from Revit parameters.

Hello,

I have Docuflow 4.12 in Revit 2019.2.  Publishing with Bullzip.  Publishing with PDF24 just freezes.

When I publish multiple sheets to PDF, the sheets are all published with the correct Advanced filename.  However, looking at the PDFs, every PDF is the same.  They are all the first sheet in the set.
