What happens if you remove the space from the file path? Does it still
behave the same?

That should read:

Not a bug - my fault !!
The part of the heading text for the pdf is used for the saved filename which
cannot be ">" ! of course ...
The issue was the file save naming not open printing to pdf command , your
replies made me look for odd characters.

Hi.
Are you saying the "open printing to pdf" command itself does not work, or
that you get blank output? In other words, in the stack that does NOT work,
what happens if you:
open printing to pdf "yourFilePathHere/xxx.pdf"
revPrintText "Hello world"

Hello Camm,
Are they all printing the same text? If I recall correctly, Open Printing to
PDF is where the fail occurs when certain Unicode characters are encountered.
Emojis are one example where characters will render in a field but not print to
a PDF.
Hmmm... I wasn’t able to turn up a bug
Hi ,
I have 3 separate stacks each containing the same code for printing to pdf.
One of those stacks will not open printing to pdf in dev or runtime. The other
2 work fine - Head scratching ??
All items are in the same path / folder.

Camm

Actually, I meant 'ask file ...' to prompt the user for a standard
*save* file dialog to get the file path for the 'open printing to pdf tFile'
And by folder exists, I mean the containing folder

I assume that was just a typo, but just in case... you really meant

dialog being presented by the 'open printing to pdf' statement rather
than an code execution error.
Presumably the folder exists since it was just selected by the user via
the 'answer file' command. Obviously, I can wrap this part of the code
in a TRY ... END TRY block to
NVM you provide a file path. You may want to check that the folder exists
before writing the pdf. Do you ask the end user where they want to put the file
first, or do you assume a destination folder?

I have a user who ran into the error "printing: Unknown destination:
(Line 0, column 0)" when executing a line in my code that was "Open
printing to PDF "
This error (in fact NO ERRORs) are listed under the "open printing to

You can use the "

using the Adobe pdf printer via its dialog box.
In livecode, I would like to be able to use this with "open printing to
pdf". Then I could print 2 pages per sheet in pdf format.

it works just fine.
I had an "ask file" command in there I should have commented out.
This works perfectly:
on mouseup
put "/Users/sivakatirswami/Desktop/test4.pdf" into tOutPutFile
set the printMargins to 0,0,0,0
open printing to pdf tOutPutFile
