A few things to note:<br>
<br>
+ Not sure what's the deal with 4.0.1, but it's too old at this point<br>
so let's ignore that.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm agree.

+ When you downloaded ParaView 5.0.1 from <a href="http://paraview.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">paraview.org</a>, starting with<br>
5.0.1, we are using a new implementation of the rendering backend for<br>
our binaries [1]. This rendering backend, let's call OpenGL2, doesn't<br>
support exporting to PDF, at least, not in 5.0.1. It's been fixed in<br>
git "master".<br></blockquote><div><br><div>In my laptop I have 3 options (pressing enter buttom) for VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND: OpenGL, OpenGL2 and None,<br></div><div>but in my desktop I have only one: OpenGL.<br></div><br></div><div>I compile paraview in my laptop (ubuntu 16.04) and my desktop (ubuntu 14.04) with exactly the same options in ccmake, in particular: OpenGL.<br></div><div>In my laptop 'Export to pdf' works perfect.<br></div><div>Is this related this the nvidia driver? In my desktop I have installed nvidia driver, but in my destop I have not installed nvidia driver.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
+ I suspect ParaView 5.0.1 from Ubuntu is using the old rendering<br>
backend by default. The title bar should say something like "ParaView<br>
5.0.1 (Legacy Rendering Backend)". This backend still support the old<br>
export to PDF code and hence should have that option.<br></blockquote><div><br>You are right: in the paraview version from ubuntu repository says "ParaView 5.0.1 (Legacy Rendering Backend)" in the tittle bar.<br>Also, in my both compiled paraview 5.0.1 appears "ParaView 5.0.1 (Legacy Rendering Backend)" in the tittle bar too.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
+ When you compiled 5.0.1 from source, I suspect you are getting the<br>
old rendering backend too (unless you changed the CMake variable<br>
VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND to OpenGL2). Not entirely sure why export would<br>
fail in that case. There isn't any special flag to enable PDF export.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Now, in my desktop I'm trying compiling with OpenGL2 option (the option doesn't comes hiting the enter button, instead of my laptop, but I chosed writting it), and crossing my fingers.<br><br><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span>I appreciate any</span> <span>ideas or suggestions</span><span> (I don't have more), to </span><span></span> <span>find a way</span><span> for</span> fix<span class=""> this 'little' problem: to have the export to pdf option.<br><br></span></span></div><div><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="">Thanks again.<br></span></span></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<br>
However, the best option to try out Export to PDF would be build the<br>
latest "master" from source with VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND set to OpenGL2.<br>

(Dave, do correct me if I am misspoke).<br>
