I'm trying to save as PDF from Techwriter on a Raspberry Pi 3. When I do
so, the computer hangs, and while I can regain control by pressing
Alt-Break that gives me a zero-sized PDF. I'm using PrintPDF 1.10, TW
9.01 and Printers 1.83??
Why use PrintPDF? Excellent though it is, TechWriter will output its own
PDF files.
Horses for courses. The Techwriter route is the way to go if you want
bookmarks; PrintPDF can't do that, but IIRC does offer other options.
Menu over the document, hover over the arrow next to Save and the PDF
option is about 2/3rds of the way down the list.
Both PrintPDF and Techwriter use Ghostscript to do the PS to PDF conversion,
IIRC. That's a very likely candidate for not being happy on the ARMv8 as
it's statically linked to Unixlib, so check that it's up to date.
The latest version I'm aware of is at
http://www.riscosports.co.uk/downloads.html
but it could still need to be recompiled with the latest Unixlib to make it
happy on the Pi 3. The ROOL forums are the best place to follow this up, I
suspect.
