solidworks will not save to pdf
solidworks 2006 will not save to a pdf.
I get an pdf Error, get printer step 101.
i click ok and it goes about halfway through the conversion and then after 5 min or so it error out with an unexpected error has occured.
other programs can save to pdf with no problems.

How large is the solid works file that you are trying to convert? It may be running out of memory.
Do you have any other pdf "printers" software installed that could be interfering with Solidworks own pdf printer river?
another thought might be to install a secondary pdf printer such as primopdf (it's free) and try converting it using the other pdf application instead.

I agree with Scottsman and Orion. My best PDF solution for every CAD program has been PDF995. It uses very little memory, creates a very compact PDF file, and never times out.
I think CutePDF is a really good program for doing that, and it's free. (No, I'm not related to this software in anyway), I have just always seen its printouts matching exactly with the real printer, so it is reliable.

none of the other suggestion fixed the issue. In the end we did a full system rebuild.
