Hello,
I need to print my workbench on size A0. It works fine for size A2 and smaller but for size A0 or A1 the workbench freezes or crashes. I tried with different workbenches , different Pc's and different PDF-creators but no success. I use FME 2019.1.
Maybe someone has an idea to solve the problem?

I never thought I would try this but I can create a PDF in A0 from FME Workbench 2020.2.2.0 with the PDF Report Writer from novaPDF without FME crashing
+4Hi @rico_23 ,
I remember that problem and can't get it solved. I tested it on the new version 2021 and the bug(?) is still present. The standard Microsoft printer only supports A3, when I try to change it to the Adobe printer A1 the program crashes.

This is very interesting. I tested it with a testversion of novaPDF and it works, I'm very suprised. Thank you for the hint to use novaPDF. But it is strange why different PDF-creators, like Adobe PDF, don't work...
+43So I checked it out and it appears we can't write directly from FME to an A0-sized sheet or to a PDF printer. Apparently, it's a shortcoming with the libraries we use to display the workspace in Workbench. I've asked if that has changed at all (the information was 5 years old) but if not, then you can see the workaround is to use a printing tool like novaPDF.
So apologies for the inconvenience. I don't think this is something we're going to be able to fix though.
+2Hi there,
is there any progress on using other pdf-creators like cute-pdf?
I have troubles printing my workbench to A0 and i don't have the abillity to install NovaPDF.
I am using version 2022.1.2 (build 22627).
thanx in advance.
Kind regards.
