.dwg to .pdf = Fatal error

To be more precise:
fatal error unhandled access violation writing 0x0024 Exception at 7776e4b4h
I've set up a drop down menu with various page setups coming from another file (-psetupin).
If I initiate a page setup for our Plotter or Printer, everything works fine. If I initiate a page setup for the 'dwg to pdf.pc3', I get the error listed above. I don't understand why, it worked fine not too long ago. Also, if I manually create a page setup with the same 'dwg to pdf.pc3' it works fine...
Anyone has an idea as to why this happens?
Cheers

More developments: I think I've found the problem.
I think my 'dwg to pdf.pc3 might have been corrupted. I replaced it with the ootb 'dwg to pdf.pc3' and it seems to work now. I had created Custom Paper Sizes in the old 'dwg to pdf.pc3' and I believe that might have done it.
Now the only problem left is to figure out how to get the paper sizes we want to use.

In this case I have uploaded/attached a copy of our stock “DWGtoPDF” driver for use and review. Additionally, you mentioned that you were looking to included additional paper sizes to this driver. To add additional sizes you will need to create custom paper sizes for your none standard sizes for this plot driver.

Thanks for checking up
It's been working on and off for a while, but I've put that issue aside for now in order to fix other things.
I'll take a little more time to try and figure out what's causing the problems.
As soon I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Cheers
