[V8i] Bentley pdf print drivers aren't working

Hi Tom,

When you say nothing happens, do you not get any messages in the Message Center?

Also, is your Drawing composition correct? In the print preview there is a line at the top edge titleblock yet none below so its just to rule out that your reference file isn't below the sheet area. I'm also a bit curious of your scale units; do you scale up your sheets and keep the references 1:1?

Hi Barry,

No there's no messages in the Message Center, doesn't seem to be any reaction from Microstation at all.

The drawing composition is correct, I've been able to print similar drawings in the past.

It's a 1:1 reference in to the model space of the drawing, and then that model space is referenced into the sheet at 1:100.

pdf drivers (pdf.pltcfg) if I click "Print to File"

Why are you clicking Print to File? When using .pltcfg just click the little Printer icon in the upper left corner (under the File menu item. This will open a browser asking where to save the file and to name the file.

I didn't realise that it made any difference which button I used, but even clicking the printer icon has the same effect, nothing happens.

You have the Area set to sheet. Are you in a sheet model?
