Creating .PDF using Tcl/Tk Utilities in Capture 16.3

 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

     Thanks so much for your input. I am happy to hack so this will be an adventure. A colleague did have this work for a few days and then it stopped working.

    Cheers,
