Save Diagram as PDF

When I click on "Diagram/Save Diagram As/PDF", a popup tells 'PDF file Output is not enabled'

How does one enable this?

(I have printed the diagram as a PDF using the FH PDF Printer, but "Saving Diagram As" seems a neater way to do it, and am frustrated that it doesn't work)

Peter,

It helped identify the problem - Thanks.

FYI Windows has a known bug of failing to start the print spooler after a system restart.

I had started FH before checking spooler was running, so although I could see the PDF printer, FH couldn't, as spooler wasn't running when FH started.

Although I had started the spooler, FH wasn't aware, hence the Error. After restarting FH too, it found the PDF printer and all is well.

I will add that print spooler tip to the Knowledge Base.
