Issue creating PDF from CAPTURE

BaldEngineer

Hi all

I recently started having this issue of not able to generate proper PDF using the Version 25.1.

The problem is that before exporting PDF, I select the design and go to View> Variant View Mode to set the components as DoNotMount 

which i do not want to display in the PDF. When i do so, the PDF exported is no longer Smart PDF. It means 

if i right click on a component, its properties are not displayed.

Plus i get 2 extra pages at the end of PDF every time i save it as PDF. And the last page shows this error message:

This behavior is not seen when i don't use View> Variant View Mode and display the pdf as is.

This is the settings i have in Export Window:

I have already tried changing the Driver name from OrCADPS_25.1 to 24.1/17.4 etc.

Also downloaded the latest version of Ghostscript(10.07.0).

    I have now just installed 25.1.s030 version and still the above problem exists.

    As far as i can remember, this issue has been there in Capture for the past few years and the workaround i found was to remove blank spaces in the path name and file name of Export window which unfortunately no longer work in 25.1 release.

    Just so you know there is a solution on my post in the Community Forum, suggested by Krissn. 

    "The problem is one of the TCL scripts.

    Solution:

    Copy over capPdfUtil.tcl from working version of orcad/allegro (I used base version of 25.1 e.g. c:\Cadence\SPB_25.1\tools\capture\tclscripts\capPDFExport\tcl\) to your cadence and this should solve the problem."
