Hey everyone, So I have a program that exports multiple files to PDF and it's been running fine for weeks/months. Then today I try to run the same exact program that hasn't been edited since the last time it ran fine, and all of a sudden none of the PDF files are being properly exported. I keep getting the errors: ToExpression::notstrbox: "Developer`UseFrontEnd[6.] is not a string or a box. ToExpression can only interpret strings or boxes as Mathematica input." followed by Export::fmterr: "Invalid PDF format." Even the most basic PDF export fails. I tried the example shown on this Wolfram website ( http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/howto/ExportToPDF.html) and copying and pasting the code led to the exact same errors. Like I said, I have been exporting PDFs on the same machine for months, then all of a sudden it won't work. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1, 32-bit. Any ideas?? I really need these PDFs to export properly. Thanks so much in advance for any insight you have into this issue. Erin
