    PDF export where you can move families in the PDF

    This is probably a stretch... but we've been doing furniture planning in Revit. I have filters applied to color code which furniture is being moved vs. discarded. First, I'd like to make a PDF from Revit where each furniture family can be moved around in the PDF after-the-fact. Even better if I can toggle the color the furniture in the PDF, too.

    Can i ask why you want to do this in pdf? Is it so you dont have to replot from revit?
    IMO having two sets of data will cause headaches. Better off sticking to mark ups in pdf and making changes from the model.

      Because I'm passing the torch onto a non-Revit user.

          You can do some of that type of task in Bluebeam

            Yes, they have a "Dynamic Tool Set Scaler" in Bluebeam that makes components which will automatically resize in different scaled viewports

            I'm looking for a way to automatically make individual markups for each family in the furniture category. It seems like it would be also possible to publish changed made in the PDF back to the model; Fuzor has already accomplished this in 3D.

              Have you considered flux.io - revit out to autocad, autocad update locations back to revit.

              Or as previously noted Fuzor

                The endpoint needs to be a PDF; the end user doesn't have any Autodesk software.

                  Photoshop opens pdfs and uses layers, including transparent background images.

                    Print the building PDF without the furniture. Print the furniture a separate PDFs. Insert the pieces as "stamps" in the base PDF. The end user can scale, rotate or move the pieces.
