Why the AutoCad 2023 for Mac crashes when exporting to PDF?

heroYE2HJ · ‎10-04-2022

I'm using AutoCad 2023 trial, and the I try to export to PDF it crashes.

It recovers the file and says there are no errors found within the file, but always crashes. Have tried rebooting the computer and the program.

Can you provide a bit more info? "Export to PDF" can mean more than one thing. What is the actual command name that is being executed?

Are you doing this? To Export a Drawing to a PDF File

Something else listed here? About Exporting Drawing Files to PDF

Hi @heroYE2HJ ,

As @rkmcswain asked - please provide step by step details about exporting PDF.
Have you tried to use Preview button in Print window to generate PDF? If yes - what Printer you select in Print window?

PLOT command has 5+ PDF drivers: did you try all of them yet? "export" is too simplistic an interface and can be confusing for non-power users.
