Schematic PDF exporter is only producing .ps files but not the .pdf

Looking for some help with this. OrCAD exports the CapMark.ps file, the CapOutput.ps file, and the CapPropMark.ps file but not the .pdf. I have installed ghostscript x64 and tried pointing to both the gswin64.exe and gswin64c.exe. I have also tried the x32 version of ghostscript. I am using 17.4-2019 S039 and windows 11. Thanks.

    Do you have any spaces in the output directory path? e.g in folder name
    I had issues with PDF generation which were resolved once I replaced spaces with underscores.

    This fixed it. Having onedrive forces a space in the path so i can no longer export to my desktop. Thanks!

    Always avoid space and special characters in path and file names: using them lead to problems in so much cases.

    Use:

    a to z

    -

    underscore _

    numbers

    and that all: never a problem

    Other tip:

    avoid too long path ans filename, windows have limitations
