    I tried testing the above issue and observed that when there is a space in the capture project's name or path, the ps files are getting generated and not getting deleted. Also, an additional PDF page also gets generated with the error message which you shared.

    A Cadence change request is already there with development team.

    For now, make sure that capture project's name and path do not have any spaces. Hope it helps!

    Yes Removing Spaces helped. Thanks!

    One thing more is that when i run calculate distance in OrCAD PCB Designer/Allegro, the window showing the measured distance is no longer visible.

    Already tried Display> Measure Option.

    4 Months on and still this issue of PDF Error not fixed in the latest updates.

    It is bit frustrating that every time i need to make PDF, I have to assign a different folder without spaces just to make correct pdf of schematics.

    Or is there any improvement in this issue, which i have not followed?

    17.4 S038 we also have this issue. And now I can't tell if there's a newer hotfix available because the downloads.cadence.com login prompt is utterly broken.
