Mac Monterey O$ 10.1 PDF not creating

[Das Goravani]

Sue,

Someone posted recently that macOS Monterey latest version caused PDF’s to stop working. 

There are two ways to make PDF’s, I forget the syntax at the moment, but only one of them stopped working.

The other method still works. You may have to locate the syntax for these two and switch.

The posting was really recent, only within the last month or two. 

Good luck,

Das Goravani
