Gary,



P3 printing a PDF crash is a classic symptom of the need to add the P3 Version 3.1 Service Pack 3 patch. Highly recommended. Good luck!

Hi Hannes!



Thank you for the advise. I’ll keep it in mind the next time i get in trouble. This is a simpler and much easier way of handling this problem. Great advice.



Best regards,



Jorge

Mostly I got these problems solved by using the tools->project utilities->copy. P3 seems not to copy errors.

1. Please check that you have amply disk space. I forgot how much free disk space you need. But I guess 500MB would suffice.



2. If your P3 files are actually corrupt, it has been my experience that using the P3FIX utility doesn’t really totally fix it. What you can do is

a. run a batch file to extract your whole project in ascii format (refer to the Batch help file that comes with the P3 software.)

b. delete your project (don’t forget to back it up first with ZIP).

c. Run Batch again but this time use the resulting file from Item A. This will re-create your project.



This should fix the corrupt database.



However, perform item 1 first as your database may not be corrupt at all but just needs disk space.



Best regards,



Jorge
