Publisher's PDFs are Zero kB

[alexliz24]

I sent these pdfs from Publisher, and the colleague said they wouldn't open. I tried to open them myself, couldn't. Then had a look at the file size: 0kB.

I eventually had to use File->Print as PDF to get the thing done.

Is this a reported bug, I wonder? Or some problem specific to my config?

Excellent, Francesco, it did the trick!

Just for the sake of other poor souls who are plagued by the same problem, I'll review the process here:

1. Run Software Update (from /Applications/Utilities)
2. Select the Java131and142Release2 update and install it
3. Restart ArchiCAD (although it might even work without a restart).
4. Now, publish pdfs to your heart's content through Publisher.

No more Zero kB files!

After downloaded and install the Java 131 and 142 release 2, i run "Software Update" i find a Java 2 5.0 release 4
