Exporting Not Working! :(

[kirscherj2]

Hi,

I am currently having issues with my Inventor exporting files(.idw) to .pdf or .dwf.

This happens with any file I try lately and just started happening. When I create a .pdf it comes out with a blank page and an error. If I create a .dwf it gives an error that the page can't be displayed.

I can open other peoples .pdf and .dwf I can also open the same files on other computers and export them to .pdf or .dwf but if I sent the ones I created to other people they cannot open these files ether.

Any Ideas?

I have already tried ReInstalling Inventor 2013 and I also have changed from foxit reader to adobe being the default .pdf viewer.

Post a screen shot of the error message you get, and/or a sample of the results you get.

I know you mentioned both pdf and dwf, but have you tried printing to pdf to see if that gives you different results?

I had a weird issue trying to post the .pdf and .dwf as shown in the previous post.... but there is the message I'm getting trying to open the dwf I'll try to print right now.

Oh the irony..... I am the one who created the .pdf :'(

Printing does not work and it prints a blank white page.

Any Ideas? I'm currently at work trying anything. (I can also create a word doc to .pdf fine.)  I'm pretty sure it's something with inventor having issues exporting to another file type but I can't seem to figure it out.

Try this pdf creator and see if it gives you any different results.  I know when myself and others have had similar issues creating pdf's we used this and it worked.

It wont help with the dwf's though.

This is a very similar problem to what I had, see this http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Inventor/Constant-problem-Creating-PDF-from-A0-sheet/m-p/4361... by doing what was suggested worked.
