I can plot my semilogy plot fine to Qt5Agg backend, but switching to pdf
gave the error
ValueError: Can only output finite numbers in PDF
Of course I can workaround it, but it's inconsistent (and annoying).
That does sound annoying.
If you give a MSCWE, and a more complete backtrace, maybe it can be fixed. Probably better to just make a github issue (after searching if it already exists).
Cheers, Jody

Being curious, MSCWE stands for?

I guess ?Minimal Self-Contained Working Example? (as a variation of
[SSCCE](http://www.sscce.org/), etc.)

This means the pdf backend has received infinite values, probably from
taking the logarithm of a nonpositive number. Somewhere in the chain
between semilogy and the pdf backend there should be logic that decides
what to do with those (e.g. clip to figure edge, or omit the point and
adjacent lines entirely).
In my copy of matplotlib 2.0.2 I don't see an error message from the
following code. Instead the negative value and adjacent lines are simply
missing.
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.semilogy([3,1,4,-1,5,9])
plt.savefig('semilogy.pdf')
