Not a systemic issue - some users are unable to save Infomaker reports as PDF files. They receive an error pop-up:
"Unable to save report data to <save_location>. Disk may be full or write-protected or PDF capability is not installed"
All client machines are the same build so I don't think there is missing functionality if some users can save to PDF and some can't.
I'll submit a ticket as well just in case it is a real technical issue
We are unable to get pdf printing to work on Vista machines.
When I follow the second link above it seems to indicate that the new version of powerbuilder would come with updated print drivers, but I can't find them?
Our PBVM\drivers folder has Adobe Distiller drivers dated 2/14/03, which seems like they could be too old for Vista.
Has anyone come up with other Vista workarounds?

You can try this if want to.
Yes, that worked!
Thank you Ben.
