pdf converter lost

[Anonymous]

I have used my PDF converter on the AC publisher as well as the pm publisher. now it has disappeared. i have no way to publish pdf documentation. is there a way to get this back?

If the Amyuni PDF Converter does not show up in your Printers and Faxes folder, it must have gotten deleted somehow.

You can reinstall by going into your C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD 9\PDF Converterfolder. You'll find a PDF manual there, and an Install folder containing the 'install' program to reinstall.

the amyuni pdf converter is there. when i pull up the publisher and go to the view set side i choose the views i want and then click the drop down arrow for the format to publish in and the pdf is gone. is there a setting i can change to access ths function?

Ah. You've set your publishing set to be a "save as" rather than a "print" set.

You can "save as" PDF, or you can "print" to the PDF driver as you probably know. I believe there is some slight functionality difference, but I haven't used the 'save as' approach, so don't know what it is.

Yes, PDF should appear below Module File.

Your registry might have gotten damaged, I suppose. I'm not positive, but I think that the setting that affects this may be the 'Disable PDF Support' key in the 'Driver Error Patch' folder. (That key should be '0'.)
