Trying to print a PDF in AutoCAD LT Mac 2014.
I have tried printing a PDF in preview (through the print dialog) and also exporting to PDF. Neither work. Cant print to a printer either. This is on OSX 10.9.3 and the latest update for LT 2014.

Hi,
Could you provide more details?
What happens when you pick on Preview button in Print window?
Does AutoCAD freezes? Do you see additional small window with print progress:
Or nothing happens?
What printer are you using for Page Setup?
Do you use Custom paper size for your Page Setup?
Maxim
Preview drops me back to the drawing. No print progress bar.
I have 3 printers installed. 2 colour A3 canon printers and an A0 Canon plotter. All network printers
No custom paper, just A3.
when i try that the custome paper is set in the page manager, but when i go to the print dialog, custom paper sizes are grayed out (although it is set to custom) if i try preview now, it still just drops me back to the drawing.
I can select it in the page manager but not in the print dialog before I preview: see screenshot (details of the paper size seem correct though)
Tried that earlier...
But just tried again and whilst it looks like its doing something, I get the publish job progress, then a continous plot log could not be opened for write error. Nothing gets saved and theres no file where I set it to be saved to.
Something is wrong on your Mac with Printing System.
You should be able to manage Custom paper sizes even from Print dialog in AutoCAD, here how it looks on my Mac:
What do you get in VIEWPLOTDETAILS after you Batch publish?
Are you able to manage Custom paper sizes from other application on your Mac, for example from TextEdit?
Maxim
I Can select the custom sizes in other applications yes.
I get "there are no plot or publish details to view" when i view VIEWPLOTDETAILS
Ok, It works through a different user account. Is there any way of repairing this? As were on a corporate network and its not something i can just recreate.
Thanks for all the help by the way, really appreciated!!
I get an error message when doing the batch that it cannot write to the plot log.
Were on a corporate network so no root that i'm aware of.
