Can't export to 3D PDF

[ferrisb]

Inventor 2022

I can't export to 3D PDF, the little button is there in the annotate tab, but it doesn't do anything.

I don't see the option under File/Export or File/SaveAs either... 

Any ideas?

Verify under Tools (tab) > Add-Ins, if when you select "Anark 3D PDF Publishing" both checkboxes should be selected, and look in Windows Explorer to see if you can find an existing C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2022\Bin\AnarkCoreInventorAddIn.dll.
In case yours is corrupted, I am attaching mine zipped.

Another common problem is that the 3d PDF templates are missing.

Check your templates folder for:

• Blank.pdf
• Sample Assembly Template.pdf
• Sample Part Template.pdf
• Blank - DVR Carousel

If you can't find them, copy them from:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2022\Templates\en-US\
