[V8i] Bentley pdf print drivers aren't working

Right, so that is the delivered pdf plot configuration file. Its impossible for me to tell if that file is in the as-installed state, or if it has been edited at some point however, I would think it unlikely to affect your MicroStation not being able to create a print.

Before looking for alternative reasons to solve your problem, it might be worth running an installation repair just to ensure everything is fine with your MicroStation installation. If you haven't done it before, its quite simple and takes very little time to complete, you just need to press the start menu, type APPS and locate MicroStation V8i, press modify then repair and leave any options as they currently are set as we arent changing anything aside from potentially fixing any breakage that may have occured:

 After that's done, try printing as before.

Look at your configuration variable for MS_PLTFILES. It may be automatically saving to that location.

File Name:

C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Micrstation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\System\pltcfg\pdf.pltcfg

So a pltcfg is a text-file which contains settings for how the PDF is to be printed. You can see at the top of your image that it says pdf.pltcfg. The question is where is that file located?

On your print dialog:

1. Go to File menu\Edit Printer Driver configuration file
2. Press the General Tab
3. Below the row of tabs there is an entry for file name, what does it show?

Yep I've closed an re-opened, it's been acting this way for a few weeks.

It is hosted on ProjectWise, but I've printed things hosted there this way before.

I'm not sure on the last point unfortunately, it might be time to contact my IT team for help.
