Creating .PDF using Tcl/Tk Utilities in Capture 16.3

Goblin60

 All,

Here's somthing a little different. I'd like to export a .pdf using the application found in  Accesories--->Cadence Tcl/Tk utilites. This gizmo (when working) produces a searchable pdf which allows one to click on components within the pdf and see properties. I've seen this work in older versions of software. Here's the hitch; I need the postscript driver path for the .pdf editor Bluebeam. I can also use the postscript friver path for Adobe Acrobat Distiller but I prefer to use Bluebeam. Attached is a .png that shows you what I am refering to. Any info will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Ron Scott

     I was initially able to get this to work, but no longer...

    Original setup:

    OrCAD 16.3
    Ghostscript 9
    Adobe 9.4

    When executing the utility, I would use "Ghostscript/equivalent" for the PS to PDF converter, and change the path to gswin32c.exe, including the whole "C:\Program Files...".

    This worked with no problem for a few days. Now, however, now the utility crashes, with an error message: "Postscript Driver not found." This is not a path issue (that gives a different error). The utility is also creating a 0kb ps file in the project output directory before crashing.

    Has anyone seen this, and if so, how were they able to fix it?

    In the interim, I had updated Adobe reader to version X, but have since reverted back to 9.4.  I have uninstalled ghostscript and reinstalled it.  Given that this error is different from when it can't find gswinc32.exe at all, I am not sure if the problem is with ghost script, adobe, or something else.

     Any suggestions would be appreciated.
