PDF.pltcfg driver does not create PDF

I am trying to create a PDF file using the USACE's PDF-AECv3.pltcfg driver. Everything sets up properly and then when I hit the Print icon. Nothing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this driver will not work? I have also tried using the straight out of the box driver from bentley while still using the USACE dataset configurations. This makes no difference. I still get no PDF file. Could there be a setting in the USACE's settings that creates a conflict with resources files? Your urgent help on this issue is greatly appreciated.

I don't have this myself, but is it trying to write to a directory that doesn't exist?

When I hit the print icon. It doesn't say or do anything. Since this posting I have found a work around. I have been selecting the Sys-AECv3.pltcfg file. I then select a windows printer which is called PDF995. This allows my to create PDF files. But it would still be nice to understand why the PDF-AECv3 print driver does not work correctly. I have attached the PDF driver for anyone's review.

No problems here.

When used, it looked for the following pen table: $(MS_PENTABLE)AECv3_Screening.tbl which I obviously don't have. Once I loaded a substitute pentable, it produced a PDF without any other issues.
