Hi all.
I've been struggling recently with getting sheets to print, in order, to one multi-sheet PDF, which is what the owner has requested. Since we've got a number of sheets that don't always fall in alphabetical/numerical order, we were always stuck re-combining the sets in Adobe Acrobat Pro, which was a pain, because there are only 3 licenses and about 60 of us. So here's my workaround:
Instead of printing directly to PDF from Revit, export to dwf. Open up the dwf in Design Review. On the left, drag the thumbnails around so that the sheets are in the right order. If you want to add consultant sheets to the set, ask them to send you their drawings as dwfs as well. Open their dwfs in a separate session of Design Review, and drag the thumbnails from their file to yours. Then you can print the entire set as one big PDF, and everything is in the right order.
This also has the added benefit of being able to easily markup/comment on the drawings before creating the PDF, in case there's something you need to call attention to.
