OrCAD X Capture 25.1 – PDF Export in Variant Mode Produces Extra Pages and Error Message

Hello everyone,

I’m currently using OrCAD X Capture 25.1, and I’m running into an issue when exporting a variant schematic to PDF. Every time I generate a PDF from a variant view, the output includes two extra pages, and one of those pages contains an error message that looks like below. 

The actual error is captured as shown: 
" ERROR: syntaxerror

OFFENDING COMMAND: ----nostringval----

STACK:

/JS

/JavaScript

/Subtype

-mark-

/Action

[0 0 0 ]

/Border

[0 1 0 ]

/Color

[748 61 604 1196 ]

/Rect

1/

SrcPg

-mark"

 

This only happens in variant as exporting the main schematic works normally with no extra pages or errors.

Has anyone seen this behavior before or know what might be causing it?

Thanks in advance!

    Is there any fix yet? I am using 25.1 S020 . Still has the same issue. but interestingly it works well with 17.2. So something is broken here in new releases. 

    - I dont have spaces in names

    - I tried putting short output path for DSN and pdf export ( like C:\Test\)

    Nothing seem to solve this.

    Hi, same problem for me too. I was using 24.1 and it was working fine.

    I believe there is something wrong with 25.1 as soon as it releases. 

    Probably have to wait for new update
