No .pdf can be created from score window???

Fixed.

It appears you have to actually have a hardware printer set up (which I do at home) and then PT allows you to create a .pdf of the score.

Other programs don't require this, but apparently PT does for whatever reason.

No biggie. Problem solved.

Are you saying that when the OSX window comes up where you can choose to save as pdf and you click on it and nothing seems to happen? If so this may well be a long-standing issue going back to at least OSX 10.6.8. What happens (at least to me) is I click on the save as pdf (or even print) and the computer seems to lock up. It can take anywheres from one to several minutes for the printer icon to show up in the Dock and then print for even small print jobs. Happens a lot if I want to save as pdf emails. The worst thing is it's not consistent.

Same here, on 11

For me it lets me pick the destination (print as .pdf) then name it. I hit "print" or "Okay" (can't remember) and the window closes but no file is created.

I just did screen shots, only two pages, and made a .pdf from that.

P.I.T.A.

Ouch. I think I had that happen on my Photoshop/web machine running OSX 10.6.8 a couple of times. It's almost like there's something that say this page cannot be made into a pdf. Some weird form of copy protection?
