I am trying to get my Editor and Command Window page as pdf for my Matlab assignment. But it keep showing error page on command window even though I am following the right procedure recorded on lecture video.
This is the procedure, I get into the Page Setup, on the Layout I check all three options and colored text. Next, click confirm button.
Then this comes out as an output which seems like an error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0": java.lang.IllegalStateException: Media name not returned from cocoa

When I try to save as pdf through print, it also doesn't work. I can save any single page on website as a pdf file through printing option but it doesn't work in MATLAB. I don't know how to solve this problem. Does anybody know the solution for this?

I've encountered a similar issue where I'm unable to save a MATLAB file as a PDF in Update 4 of MATLAB R2024b. However, when I reverted back to Update 3 of MATLAB R2024b, the functionality worked as expected. You might want to try this solution and see if it resolves the problem for you.
Thanks.

May I ask how you reverted back to Update 3 from 4?
