When I try to "Print to PDF File" from the Calibre internal viewer, I get this error:

Code:

I'm running a Korean version of Windows 8.1 (64-bit). I'm running the 64-bit version of Calibre 2.27 (latest as of this post).

I can read the ebooks files, but I just can't use the "Print to PDF file" function. The ebooks themselves aren't the issue because this happens with all formats (AZW3, MOBI, EPUB) and I've had success using the same "Print to PDF file" function on them on a different computer.

This seems to be an issue with my computer and my particular installation of Calibre.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Calibre multiple times. I even used Revo Uninstaller to do a complete uninstall. The same issue persists, which is very frustrating.
