Cancel a Bunch of PDF Prints
Hello,
Sometimes a employee will accidently print 80+ Pages out of Revit w/ the PDF function called PDF995. Most folks at our company print each page vs a combine or at least the ones that have reached out when they print WAY too many sheets seem to always print a bunch of singles vs a combine. We also have BlueBeam as another function to PDF with but recommend folks use PDF995 as it does not pull a license. Id also like to say when printing out of Revit its usually 30"x40". I know if I kill Revit it will stop the prints but most cases they have not saved/Synced their work and this is not ideal anyway. Stopping the Spooler locally on their PC seems to shave some time off as Revit throws the error of not being able to print the PDF.
I would have thought the PDF function of printer would have been tied to another service than the spooler. I also was not seeing PDF995 or anything referencing PDFs in running tasks. Right clicking on the printer on the task bar and canceling the document or all documents does not help as each PDF since most of the time is several pages vs a combine. I wonder if there is a way around this like turning off the spooler to grab all the sheets at once so they can cancel them vs having the spooler on and spool each page and then print that page. Would it really be that much slower these days without the spooler?
Any other suggestions? Look forward to hearing from you.
