Whenever I print from Revit using PDFCreator, it keeps replaces any dots (.) in the sheet names with dashes (-). For example, a sheet names P.1.0 would save as P-1-0. FYI I do have a RegEx named ".*Sheet - +" but that's just to print the sheet names as file names. Anyone else have this issue? I've tried for over a month now to contact the PDFCreator support team and they've provided nothing but rude and incompetent responses so I expect no help from them.

Dear alls,
Environment: PDFCreator (version 4.1.2 on Windows 7) through COM interface.
Goal: Print xls sheet to pdf file using an existing pdf file as attachment.
Calling method PrintJob.ConvertTo(String path), I get the following error : "Error while adding attachment to the document. (23999)".
Looking at PDFCreator.log.txt (19.6 KB) (trace level activated), this error is raised because the pdf file used as attachment is password protected and no owner password is provided to the iText library (used internally by pdfcreator).
Performing the same operation through pdfcreator virtual printer instead of COM interface failed with the same error.
Performing the same operation (with COM interface and/or virtual printer) with a pdf file NOT password protected as attachment works correctly.
Is there a way to provide the pdf attachment's password to PDFCreator prior to call ConvertTo method ?
If it's not forseen to provide password for attachment, a bug report should be created 
Many thanks in advance for your help.

There s any guide to start?

Hi,
I'm a newbie to PDF creator. I have a workflow in which I want to right click, save a Word file as pdf, and have it store the PDF in the directory in which it was created.
Right now when I do this, Word opens (expected), then the PDF Creator window opens to ask me where to save (I don't want this, I just want it to save in the directory in which the Word file resides) and finally PDF Architect Opens up. (I don't want this either).
How do I remove the unwanted dialogs from my workflow? I've toyed with the settings and can't quite figure it out.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I would like to evaluate the software for the emailing of PDFs.
I have an application that runs on Windows Server 2016. The application outputs reports and labels. The application can be set to send specific jobs to PDF Creator.
I would like to have PDF Creator read a certain field on the PDF and email the created PDF to certain users based on that field in the document. I have a functioning SMTP relay server in place.
Would the PDF Creator Professional version and license work for this purpose?
Thanks
Charles

Hi,
We are planning to roll out an installation of PDFCreator Pro to all of our employees. We will use the shared settings with the ini-file. We have, except from the default settings, created one custom profile and one custom printer with that profile attached. But when we start PDFCreator after the installation the program doesn't create the printer. Only the default printer is created. The Profiles shows as "Disabled By Administrator". When I load the ini-file from the Debug-menu the program creates the printer.

Hello,
The online documentation for PDFCreator (Free) says that I can set the "Check for updates" frequency to "Never" in version 4.1.2. This is not true. Has that feature been removed in the Windows 7 32-bit version? Thank you.

Hey all,
I have been using the free PDFCreator for printing large amounts of PDFS without a prompt.
It seems like i am not able to do that anymore..
Has this been updated to a paid feature?

attached are two images. One of them is what Fine Print shows me and prints to my HP Printer.
Otherwise, if I ask to print with PDF Creator I have this other image also attached.
What is the reason that PDF Creator creates a new image of almost all pages?

Hi,
I'm trying to rename a PDF based on the contents of the PDF using the Run Script option and wondering if there's any documentation on how to use tokens via VBA or if my approach is correct?
My plan is to use VB/VBA to assign the contents of the PDF to string variable, parse the variable to find the data I want for the name and rename the file. I can likely do all of the above easily, but is there a way to assign the value to the token and then use the Add Token option to rename the file?

Hi team,
I generate PDF from MS Word 365 using PDF creator 4.1.0.
Page document is A4 portrait. Print parameters are portrait,1 page per sheet. Printer parameter is also A4 portrait. However output is A4 but rotated 90° clockwise...
I tried to change to landscape without success.
I saw some post like this one without answer so far. Is this a known bug?
Thanks for support

When printing with PDFCreator 4.1.2 it always creates a PDF file with Single page viewing when viewed in Adobe Reader. I'd prefer Single page continuous as a default setting in the file, rather than having to set that as a default setting in Adobe Reader.
Is there a setting in tjhe printer driver that will dow this?

Hi,
I'm trying to setup some things, like printing a hard copy and/or protect a document with password but doesnt work.
I'm using COM Interface on VB6, method SetProfileSetting to setup properties like:
First of all I setup profile by SetProfileByGuid("DefaultGuid")
Printing.SelectPrinter , "SelectedPrinter"
Printing.PrinterName , "XXX"
Printing.Enabled , "True"
PDFSettings.Security.Enabled , "True"
PDFSettings.Security.EncryptionLevel , "AES128Bit"
PDFSettings.Security.RequireUserPassword , "True"
PDFSettings.Security.UserPassword , "YYY"
PDFSettings.Security.OwnerPassword , "ZZZ"
Then use ConvertTo to made PDF file but no protected PDF, no printed PDF.
Can anybody show some example code?
Thanks.

hi, when I generate the print with pdf creator a blank page is added, this happens since I changed the printer connected to the pc, I have already checked the virtual printer settings related to the page size (A4)
everything was normal before the printer was changed

Hi Leute.
Ich hab heute ein Windows-Update bekommen und dann natürlich alles neu installieren müssen.
was ich auch versuche, ich bekomme es nicht hin, dass wenn ich von Autocad eine Zeichnung mittels PDF-Creator speichere, nicht der gesamte Dateipfad sondern rein nur der Original-Dateiname als neuer Dateiname kommt.
Beispiel:
Zeichnung.dwg sollte Zeichnung.pdf heißen.
Tatsächlich heißt die datei aber Z_Technik_Projekte_2020_.....blablalba....Zeichnung_Layout (1).pdf
vielleicht kann mir jemand helfen dass ich nicht alle per Hand umbenennen muss.
Vielen Dank im Voraus

Is there a way to print to PDF Creator and not bring up the PDF splash screen and have to hit save and instead have it print directly to the programed path? It could save my users a bunch of time.

After running the PDF Creator 4.1.2 install I get the error below.
Clicking Yes brings up the next window.
I have tried some of the fixes listed in earlier forums running the printerhelper.exe, removing PDFCreator items from the Registry, I have also disbaled our McAfee software on the machine. Most of the forum items are for older versions so is there any new info or install procedures that can be tried for version 4.1.2?
