Hello together
I would like to export PDF plans, but unfortunately this does not work in the Rhino 8 version. Does anyone know why? I would be very grateful for your help.
Best regards
Boris
Hi Boris -
I’d try a “Repair” on the Rhino installation from the Windows Control Panel.
Also please provide the output from the Rhino SystemInfo command.

Hello Wim
Thank you very much, I will try that.

I have carried out the repair. Unfortunately, it still displays the same message.
Hi Boris -
When you disable those plug-ins in the Rhino Plug-in Manager and then restart Rhino, does that make a difference?
-wim
I deactivated the plugins and restarted Rhino. Unfortunately no results. I also activated all plugins, but unfortunately that didn’t help either. Rhino PDF and Micro Station DGN were the only ones that could not be activated.
