V2.3.2 File Size is HUGH compared to v1.7.3

We are trying to switch from v1.7.3 to v2.3.2 but have noticed a huge difference in the size of the PDF's being created. I saw another post with the same issue but the response was not very helpful. What changed between V1.73 and v2.3.2 that causes such a large file to be produced? Is it a different Ghostscript or some other default setting. These file size differences are happening on plain text reports with no images in them.

Thanks for any help on this issue.

Hallo,

wir testen gerade den PDF Creator Server. Auf unserem Fileserver ist eine Freigabe "USERHOME", für jeden einzelnen Domänen-Benutzer (250 Benutzer = 250 Ordner). In Windows kann man mit \SERVERNAME\userhome\%username% die Datei in den jeweiligen Ordner speichern.

Wir setzten PDF Creator Server 1.1.0 build 59 ein. Hier gibt es unter Queues die Save Location. Mit dem Token \SERVERNAME\userhome nimmt er leider den Domänen-Suffix mit rein. Sprich bei unserer TestPerson1 speichert das Programm erst im UserHome, wenn wir den Ordner Test.Person1.domäne umbenennen.

Gibt es hier einen Workaround oder müssen wir dies mit einer Batch machen?

We've deployed PDF Creator to a number of users in our desktop environment, and now we have at least one user who has received a prompt to upgrade to PDF Creator Plus. As our user do not manage licenses and could not self manage an upgrade of the software in our environment, I would like to know how we can remove this prompt from additional users who might be confused by it?

Spool problems when printing pdf with dcom office interop

@mhp wrote:

Hi there,

having problems getting my code to work. Could need some advice :slight_smile:

I installed pdfcreator as local printer. Using powershell code to create an dcom instance for the queue access.

$PDFCreator = New-Object -ComObject PDFCreator.JobQueue
$PDFCreator.Initialize()

Now when i open microsoft word in the GUI, and issue a print order to my default printer the document is spooled to pdfcreator
Pdfcreator log is populated.
"$PDFCreator.counts" returns 1 and the files are located in "C:\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp\2\PDFCreator\Spool*" great.
Furhter processing with "$job = $PDFCreator.NextJob" works fine.

But my actual idea is to print in a headless session using dcom word automation.
Invoking basically the following:

$wordApp = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
$wordapp.ActivePrinter # -> displays the default printer, looks good so far
$wordDocument = $wordApp.Documents.Open("C:\path\file.doc",$false,$true)
$wordDocument.PrintOut($false)
Pdfcreator log does NOT show ANY log activity(!)
"$PDFCreator.counts" returns 0 and the files are now located in "C:\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp\PDFCreator\Spool*"
Note the "\2\" is missing in the path.

When comparing the .PS associated .inf files, I recognized a difference in some lines

.inf from "C:\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp\2\PDFCreator\Spool*" -> GUI WORD created starts with:
[0]
SessionId=2
WinStation=RDP-Tcp#3

.inf from "C:\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp\PDFCreator\Spool*" -> DCOM WORD created starts with:
[0]
SessionId=0
WinStation=Services

Modifying the file content and moving it to the "other" directory did not cause $PDFCreator instance to find the files, as i hoped.
$PDFCreator.Count still returns 0

Any idea what i could do to solve that problem?

Best Regards,
Michael

hi
I tried testing the example in v2.3 c# example.
I openened the project in vs2012 and added a reference to pdfcreator.exe
the reference in the file was
'using PDFCreator'
this has to be edited to
'Using PDFForge.PDFCreator'

then it compiled.
the example worked up to the point where it gets the job from the queue
then throws exception stating no valid version of ghostscript was found
but ghost script is in the relevant folder under pdf creator

so

I upgraded to 2.4 and
opened the example c# project in vs2012
I added the reference to PDFCreator.exe as before
C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\PDFCreator.exe

but this time it will not even build.
it is stating that the namespace PDFCreator.COM does not exist..
can someone please help me on this
I do know how to program c# but this is confusing me

Error "Interface not registered" with imported type library from PDFCreator.COM.dll in Delphi ( PDFCreator 2.4 )

@Ico wrote:

Hi, I've always written Delphi code with PDFCreator versions <= 1.73 and now I'm discovering the new features of 2.X
To make the most of methods and properties exposed from COM object I decided to import as type library "PDFCreator_COM" ( I'm using PDFCreator v. 2.4 ).
This made a perfect PDFCreator_COM_TLB.pas with all types, objects and interfaces.
Now, for example, when I declare a var as IPrinters, I can see Delphi code completion that shows me all properties ( for example "Count" ) and methods ( for example "GetPrinterByIndex" ).
Project compiles without any problems but in runtime when I start using this I got the OleSysError with message "interface not registered", followed by ClassID ( which is, for IPrinters, {267F0F22-4C1B-4B36-AA67-D6F2EB9C2423} )
I tried registering "PDFCreator.COM.dll" with regsvr32, but it doesn't seem to be possibile.
Why interface doesn't seem to be registered? Should I register it? ( How? )
I see that if I use code without referencing to the type library and I declare simple Variants types then methods like CreateOLEObject('PDFCreator.PDFCreatorObj') or CreateOLEObject('PDFCreator.JobQueue') work without any problem ( but in this way I of course Delphi doesn't know anything about properties and methods of the var ), so I suppose that COM object is correctly installed.
My environment info: Windows 7 x64 \ Delphi XE4 \ PDFCreator 2.4
Thanks a lot.

Hi Leute,

ich konvertiere einne PPT-Datei in ein PDF Dokument mit der neuesten PDF Creator Version (2.4) und er bringt mir ein Logo immer wie folgt (mit Vergleich wie es sein sollte):

Der Rest ist völlig OK. Habe auch schon in den Qualitätseinstellungen versucht Anpassungen zu machen. Leider tut sich da absolut nichts, weder besser noch schlechter.

Jemand damit Erfahrung und kann mir einen Tipp geben?

Grüße
w.dopler

Edit: PowerPoint selbst bietet auch die Möglichkeit die Datei in ein PDF Format zu exportieren.
Damit funktioniert das prima. Somit wäre das für mich so in Ordnung. Die Frage ist aber trotzdem, warum PDF Creator das nicht sauber konvertiert.

On July 2014 I have bought a PDFCreator Plus - Lifetime. Today, I am trying to install the upgrade and I get this message: «The maximum of 5 licenses is exceeded! You need a new valid license key to continue. Do you want to proceed with the installation?»

Since I bought the license, I have changed computer but no more than 2 times! Of course, I have probably installed more than 5 upgrades (each upgrade ask to remove the previous version so maybe that's why I have exceeded).

Can you respect my lifetime license? I bought it to help you but now I have to pay again :frowning:

PDFCreator 2.4.0 translation error since update

Batch processing up to 15,000 PDFs

@JeffHunt wrote:

We process and create over 100,000 PDFs annually during tax season. I am looking for a fast PDF creator. During any given batch process we will create at most about 15,000 PDFs. The normal amount would be between 400 and 5000 PDFs. Currently I am able to create about 25 per minute. Does anyone here do anything similar and can you comment on the speed of "PDF Creator".

Also, we are running this process via Foxpro program which is shelling out to R&R Report Writer with parameters to create the PDF calling to another PDF Making software. Thus File Name, File Location and such are being passed per individual PDF created. Does this "PDF Creator" have the same abilities?

Thank you,

COM Interface 2.4.0 : How to overwrite a file?

@DesignRLO wrote:

HI,
Is there a way to overwrite the file after the conversion with ConvertTo(path) ?
The new version doesn't overwrite the file as the previous one.

The only setting i found in the documentation is for a FTP server :
Ftp.EnsureUniqueFilenames Bool : If true, files with the same name will not be overwritten on the server. A counter will be appended instead (i.e. document_2.pdf).

Is there another COM property setting for a local file ( for example "PdfSettings.EnsureUniqueFilenames" ) ?

Thank you for your answer,
Best regards,

COM Interface 2.4: Namen der Email Einstellungen geändert?

@meek wrote:

Hallo zusammen,

seit Version 2.4 funktioniert das manuelle setzen einiger Einstellungen mit SetProfileSetting über die COM-Schnittstelle nicht. So führt das Setzten von z.B. "EmailSmtp.Enabled" oder "EmailClient.Enabled" auf "false" zum Fehler (als wäre die Einstellung nicht gefunden worden). In der vorherigen Version von PDFcreator (2.3.2) lief noch alles gut.

Im PDFcreator selbst existieren die E-Mail Features ja noch, deswegen die Vermutung, dass sich die Namen der Einstellungen geändert haben?
Dokumentation zu 2.4 zeigt keine Änderungen an den oben genannten Einstellungen.

Edit: Andere Einstellungen, wie z.B. "Ftp.Enabled" oder "Scripting.Enabled" lassen sich problemlos setzen. Es sollte also nicht an der Art des Aufrufs in der Fremdapplikation liegen.

Hello,

I'm creating PDF-files from my program.
The customer want to set the path from by program.
So, before printing I change re registry-settings from my program.

The problem is that the registry-key is not always the same.

On my PC the key is: (PDF-Creator version 2.0)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PDFCreator.net\Settings\ConversionProfiles\0

But on a customer's PC it is (PDF-Creator version 2.3)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings\ConversionProfiles\0

How Can I know the KEY that PDF-Creator is using?

Thanks,
