Python 3.4 MatPlotLib PdfPages Value Error

I keep trying to follow the examples I see for PdfPages but keep getting the value error: No such figure: None.

plot1 = Chart Generating Function(argument1, argument2,...)

from matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf import PdfPages

pp = PdfPages('sample.pdf')
pp.savefig(plot1)
plt.close()

I've tried different variations of this (i.e. pdf.savefig()) but nothing seems to work.

What solved the problem for me was removing the plt.show() command at the end of my chart generating function.

I should have added more details, but somewhere in my code I had used "fig, ax = ..." when defining the figure. The "fig" part needed to be the argument in pdf.savefig(fig) in order for it to work.
