i installed v11 onto my new computer last week (from original disc), a day or so after R1114 update was issued; therefore, i installed update immediately, prior to having used archicad. i've noticed that the amyumi pdf does not appear to have been installed...has anyone had similar occurrence? is it possible to download amyumi from website and install seperately (for free)?

There is an Amyuni website where you can download a trial version but it adds a watermark to the PDFs.
The full version costs.
There are other free and trial PDF writers available if you search the web.

The PDF writer is now built into Archicad 11 and does not install as a separate printer as it did with previous version.
Robert, in the meanwhile, from all the free PDF printers I've tried, the one that has the best output (while keeping file size down) is TinyPDF. Your mileage may vary.

vistasp, i'll check out tinypdf, thanks for the tip; i've tried various similar pdf creators in the past with varying resuts...
in the meantime, time to step back and go the obvious solution ...dig out the v9 or v10 disc and install.

But if you still want to purchase an independant PDF creator, I'd recommend full Adobe Acrobat.

If you're still on XP, that's fine but on Vista, the Amyuni virtual printer which came with v.10 will not work.
