Hi, I have Orcad Capture v16.6 and I am trying to set up the Tcl/TK utility PDF Export to use PDFCreator.exe as its PS to PDF converter. The problem I have is that the PDFCreator print list appears and runs for a few seconds and then locks up. It creates a pdf file but that file is broken and Adobe Acrobat cannot read it or fix it (not a complete file probably).
I have checked the postscript output (CapOutput.ps) by using an online converter and I get a good pdf from that although I can't get the CapPropMark.ps to create a properties pdf. I don't want to stay with the online solution because I run into file size problems with a full size design (CapOutput.ps = 86Mb, CapPropMark.ps = 320Mb).
Does anybody else use PDFCreator for this job and is there a particular setup needed? At present I select "Ghostscript / equivalent" for the converter and substitute the path to PDFCreator as follows
{C:\Program Files (x86)\PDFCreator\PDFCreator.exe} -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$::capPdfUtil::mPdfFilePath -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE $::capPdfUtil::mPSFilePath
Perhaps there are some changes I should make to this line? I might add that PDFCreator works fine as a normal print to pdf convertor.
Thanks in advance,
Jim O'Mahony
