exportgraphics failed when exporting PDF

I have tried to use the function exportgraphics with a figure to be exported in a PDF file in Matlab 2024b.

The function is returning several Java errors, although it was working fine on 2021a.

Is there a patch to solve this problem ? Thank you

PS : I have used the following example

plot([0 0.3 0.1 0.6 0.4 1])

ax = gca;

exportgraphics(ax,'myplots.pdf')

Are you using linux?

No, I am using Matlab R2024b on Windows 11

Thanks for the reproduction code. I ran it in R2024b update 2 on a windows 11 machine but there were no errors and no unexpected behavior. I also tested it in the R2024b beta but still no problems.

If the problem appears again after a MATLAB restart, contact tech support and include a copy of the error message and stack to get more targetted help.

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, the problem persists after a Matlab and laptop restart.

I will contact the technical support for help.

Hi @JEAN BAPTISTE

I understand you are encountering error when trying to use “exportgraphics”.

There is a workaround to download a plot using GUI. The below attached link explains the workflow.

Hope this helps!
