What is it doing wrong? I use PDFCreator and that works fine when I just want a quick pdf from OCAD.

Why not just export a PDF from ocad?

Because that didn't work the first two times I tried it. Luckily, after four crashes and two restarts, it started to work.

The joys of old PCs! I hope cute PDF works again next time though, that was still failing.

I use ocad 8, so can't directly export a PDF. Generally I do an EPS export of spot colors and bring that into Illustrator, but that is more work that it is worth for a quick print.

PDFCreator is based on ghostscript, which is a rather mature pdf framework. I've never had any issues with it.

And it's free! Maybe I will give it a try. Cute PDF has always worked fine for me in the past, but for some reason it's being a pain this time.

I use dopdf (another free one) and it doesn't seem to have any issues
