Charles, are you saying that you had problems with PDFCreator and that it started working again when you upgraded to 4D v17?

So, I’m waiting for some solution in 17.2, I hope. Julio, we are not directly embedding images in the pdf. While some 4D reports do contain HighCharts graphs (by printing a form that contains a picture variable containing the image of the graph), the majority of the reports contain standard Print selection stuff. The pdf failures mainly happen with the latter type reports. If the “bad” pdf’s report is printed again, it works OK. > afaik, none of the PDF plugins for 4D give you the ability to print to PDF. > They provide functionality for you to create and manipulate PDFs, but none > gives you what you get with print to PDF Creator/MS PDF. I’ll have to do some more investigation… Thanks for the headzup. In case it matters, this project is an all Windows environment. The development is done using 4D v17.1 HF1 32 bit, and the deployment is built applications - 64bit for server and 32bit for Client (64bit Client messes up the display of our HighCharts graphs in a web area). The pdfs are all printed from a Client. Cheers, Keith There are 3 kinds of mathematician.
