File-Export-PDF needs license?

After just upgrading everyting to V17 I noticed that the File->Export->PDF is not functional in OrCAD Pro. Is this a special license that I missed? It's the only menu tree item that does not work for me.

Yes, sadly they removed the 'free' PDF creation since HF49 or 50. As I have been told this has to do something with licencing of a 3rd party tool to create the actual PDFs.

For now they don't know when it will be re-introduced as a 'free' option. That's sad imho, such complex and expensive software which cannot generate a decent PDF...
