Export to PDF isn't Working

[Lonnie Lee Best]

LibreCAD was able to import my dxf file fine and it even showed a very nice print preview, but I'm unable to print to PDF. I tried both the "Export to PDF" feature and print to PDF. Both produced a blank pdf document.

We also tried installing LibreCAD onto Windows 10, but had the same issue getting dxf files to become PDF.

This is usually a matter of settings or rarely caused by PDF printers on Windows.
The most promising source is https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/issues/553
But there are some more issues on github and threads in the forum which may contain useful information.
