Hi,

We recently upgraded to IDL version 8.3 (from version 7.1) and now my cgwindows do not seem to be able to create PDF files. When I try a window pops up with an error message: "CGCMDWINDOW::AUTORASTERFILE: Unable to create PDF file. See cgPS2PDF documentation."

A test session:

IDL> cgwindow
IDL> cgplot,[1,2],/add
IDL> cgcontrol,output='test.pdf'

I looked at https://www.idlcoyote.com/idldoc/cg/cgps2pdf.html without finding anything obvious.

I have updated the Coyote library today. PDF file creation still works in idl version 7.1.

My environment is Debian 3.12 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
