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

     That's what is so confusing --> I couldn't find the error message in the code either.

     I have already tried adding the the path to gswin32c.exe to the PATH environment variable -- no change (still doesn't work).

     I haven't actually configured a "Printe to File" Postcript printer.  All I did was install ghostscript, and then point Capture to gswin32c.exe.  This worked originally with no issues (I didn't even need to change the PATH environment variable).  Because nothing changed in Capture, and because I can't find the error text in the script, I think it must be some kind of system error.  I just don't know what...
