I've been using 'open printing to pdf' successfully on a few Linux systems so far, but there's one I'm struggling with and I can't pinpoint the reason for it.
The result of open printing to pdf is always empty, regardless of not creating the file, so is there any other way to troubleshoot what is going on? I have root privileges on the user and have granted full write permissions to the executable and all folders within the base directory.
Please let me know what information I can supply to help resolve this.

Re: Open printing to pdf produces no file
If it is the standalone, verify if the library file is copied (revpdfprinter.so).
If you use the last versions of livecode, there is bug around about the folder char separator that should be always /, but sometimes becomes \.

I only use 7.0.6 to compile Linux standalones as later versions (8+) give me a multitude of issues. Yes, revpdfprinter.so is copied in and in the correct folder. The application responds similarly to when I exclude the external file, so it's almost as if it isn't correctly used/accessed during the file creation.MaxV wrote:If it is the standalone, verify if the library file is copied (revpdfprinter.so).
