Archicad 9 on Windows 7

Anonymous — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:34:29 GMT

Hi, thanks in advance for reading and any advice.

We have Archicad9 running on a windows 7 computer. We got it to install and run, but we don't have the ability to publish to pdf in plotmaker. We've installed a windows compatible pdf creator dopdf7.1 but the pdf option does not come up in plotmaker publisher. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks Again
Eric R.

Usually those pdf creator programs create a PDF Printer and it is accessed using the print command not Publisher.

You should be able to create a publisher set that prints to the PDF "printer". It's been a long time since I've used AC9 or Plotmaker so I don't remember the details.

As I remember the Amyuni PDF driver AC9 used was not compatible with Vista (and Win7) because it was an older development so it did not work on these systems.
You should follow Matthew's advice.
