Dear Karl Ottenstein, thank you very much for your reply.
Please excuse the very late answer but work has kept me very busy.
The Thing that you can publish on 10.9.5 is Interesting. Which Java Version did you use ?
In the meantime i tried some things to
solve the Problem with publishing, but did not succeed.
Removing JAVA and reinstalling the old JAVA version necessary for the publisher on iMac 2 & 3 did not solve the problem. The program still crashes when trying to publish. Well, on iMac 2 it would create one page sucessful and crash then whereas on iMac 3 it would crash immideatly.
Even considered downgrading OSX from iMac 2 & 3 to 10.7.5, but this would create problems with other licenses and programs currently running on these Computers, so i dropped this Option.
Running a Windows compatible subsystem like "WineBottler" to simulate an Windows Environment to allow Publishing were not succesful.
Request at ArchiCAD support Germany was repeatedly turned down.
Free software engineers for MAC systems were not found, just for Windows ( Well, those found for MAC were in no way what you could call a Software Engineer ). Please drop me a note if you know one. We promise prompt payment on hour base.
Further experience has shown that on 10.10 ( And recently 10.11 ) ArchiCAD 12 runs stable ( Without the ability to publish PDF), but on 10.9.5 it has problems with external drawings PDF placed in the program, leading to crashes from time to time.
I think it would be better to move on to ArchiCAD 20 and bring all MACs to one Version, as i think it is now time wasted trying to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for everything.
