OrCAD PDF Export Garbled Code

SimonLym
SimonLym over 1 year ago

Hey Guys,

When using OrCAD PDF Export with both Acrobat Distiller and Ghostscript 64-bit (with default convert argument), I can successfully generate PDF files.

However, when I select any character (e.g., Text, Reference, Value, or Alias) and copy them, I receive garbled code. (e.g., copy 'R47' get '!')

Additionally, I am unable to search for specific parts by reference in the PDF (e.g., searching for "R47" yields no results).

Can someone tell me how to fix it?

Hope to receive a response.

Best regard.

    It creates "CapPropMark.ps, CapOutput.ps and  CapMark.ps" but failed to create .pdf. Can you help?

    Selecting PDF Export without having highlighted the schematic (page) in the hierarchy tree results in those two (empty) .PS files.
