convert schematics or simulation results to PDF

The best thing is to contact Cadence customer support, then your request can be added to the many others asking for concatenation to a single postscript file, and generation of PDF. That way it becomes clearer to R&D how many customers are asking for this.

At the moment, there's no easy way of concatenating all the files together because each schematic is printed separately. However, it would easy enough to use the schPlot() SKILL function to generate PostScript files of the entire hierarchy, concatenate together, and then call ps2pdf to convert to PDF. 

If you don't want to do that, I'd suggest printing to PostScript, using the "print to file" and then manually using "cat" on all the files to merge into a single PostScript, and then calling ps2pdf on this.

Andrew, you seem to know all things cadence... Looking for a way to create PDF (or postscript) using real fonts, not vectors.  I would like to be able to edit the text for presentations without having to update schematic database.  Also would like to search the pdf.  I thought I was able to do this in the past (many many years ago), not sure if I used some other output format ... (hpgl ?)

PostScript is fine - and then that can be converted to PDF. I fixed the link in your other append in this thread, and that uses the:

:residentFonts:

keyword in the .cdsplotinit which is how you get actual text in the PostScript (and hence PDF) rather than the text being drawn as lines. That's what you want...

Regards,

Andrew.
