Please check the topic date posted before you make any reply to any post. Almost 4 years already passed and Maya seems did not get any solution to the problem.
I may suggest to have a choices for thread owner to tell if the issues are already solve.
Mr. Abdul Rehman is a victim of the absence of the choices.
If you want P3 Report in PDF Format, first set the PDF Printer (Any type... either Cute PDF or PDF995) as default printer. Then make page setup in which paper size you want to convert (A4/A3/B0/B1). Then go back to P3 Main window. Then click print button directly (not from the file menu ==> print==> choose pdf printer) from the main window.
This will help to solve your problem...
Thanks.

Yes, Joseph is right. You need to have a Cute.PDF in order to convert P3 to PDF files. The reason behind this is that P3 is an old software which is running on 16 bit and no longer compatible with the latest software running on 32 bit.

The best you can do is to download cute pdf. This is a free download from the internet, so no worry that authorities will caught you using cute pdf. Previously, I used prima pdf but I found cute pdf better in converting P3 files to pdf files.
After you download cute pdf, you need to make this as your default printer since primavera will alwasy print using the default printer (even if you set up other printer, P3 will use the default printer).
The other steps will be just like normal printing.
Please let me know if you still encounter problems for me to solve it.
I appreciate this may be new to you but problems of printing from Adobe are well documented and there are some documents on the Primavera web.
You will probably need to create a new Adobe printer port with a short path say to C:\P3WIN\P3OUT\ (I am not certain as I do not use Adobe 7) and you must have the latest P3 patch which is at least SP3, unless they have release another since I last looked..

Encountered the same situation before, the solution:
1. First set adobe Acrobat Distiller as system default printer.
2. Go back to P3 window.
3. Go to menu File/Print Setup.
4. Choose adobe Acrobat Distiller as printer, set-up page size, etc.
5. Click the Print icon from the default window (NOT FROM PRINT PREVIEW WINDOW).
No more problem printing P3 layouts in pdf format.

Your error sounds like a paper size issue, check your paper size settings in P3 as well as the printer defaults.
better yet use cute pdf... its free and works well
alternately try to print from bar-chart view instead of print preview.
