Frequently Asked Questions > Program Issues > Printing to PDF causes PartyCAD to fail

When you click the Print icon in the Page editor, PartyCAD creates a PDF file and passes this to your default PDF viewing program. If you do not have a default PDF viewing program on your computer, or if the one you have is too basic, PartyCAD can fail when it attempts to hand off the PDF file. This can also happen if you click File > Save as > PDF... in the Page editor and you have an old / corrupt / incapable PDF viewing program set as the default.

To fix this problem, download and install a full-featured PDF viewer, and make it your default PDF viewing program.

Here are two free viewers that work with PartyCAD 12. Be careful about unchecking the added offerings you do not want as you download and install either of these.
