Hi

I tried to plot pdf from Layout with the attached code.
The Code finished without any Exception, but no pdf is created.
Does anyone have a working samplecode for me?

thx

    The attached lisp routine is how I create PDFs.
    PDF-Brics.lsp
    Brics-PDF.pc3 (unable to Upload)
    Adobe PDF Settings for PC3 file.png (Adobe PDF settings)

    It does require creating the associated *.pc3 file from:
    Printer/Plotter Configuration
    Adobe PDF

    In AutoCAD, when PDFs are created, it automatically writes them to the *.dwg file location; not so in BricsCAD unfortunately (writes them here C:\Users\mdunn\Documents). If anyone knows a fix for this, please do share.

    Apparently we are not able or allowed to Upload *.pc3 files, so a PNG will have to do.
    Hope this helps.
