Hello,
How can I remove the added text when a PDF is attached to an Outlook email? I bought a bussiness licence just for this. and I can't ask my users to remove that text everytime.

Right now a text like this is added below the email:

PDF Creator on Printer Server

We have a Windows 2012 Printer Server and installed PDF Creator using the AutoSave Profile, so that it can quietly create a PDF File in a specific folder. When testing within the server it works perfectly. When I try to print from another PC, I can see the file getting into the print spooler and leaving, but it doesn't create the PDF file.

I've run across the following issue with PDFCreator 2.4.1 (on Windows 10 Ent. and Windows 7 Ent.) and it only happens on the first run.

When converting any document to a PDF everything works fine, except that the conversion prompt that accelerates from 0% to 100% doesn't close. It only happens on the first conversion.

I'm installing with the following command line: "PDFCreator-2_4_1-Setup.exe /LOADINF="PDFCreator.inf" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART"

The inf is as below:

[Setup]
Lang=English
Dir=C:\Program Files\PDFCreator

G'day to anyone reading this subject.

I had a thread running about this problem ages ago and it was never resolved, except by dumping the current versions and installing an old version.
I have a very large document(s), <---- 2 metres ----> x 350mm.
I have a suitable page size set in Windows Print Server Properties-Forms that matches the document size.

Using PDFCreator 1.6.2 the one that's not had the Optiions/Configs guts ripped out, I can print this and similar large page sizes to PDF without any difficulty.

Post 1.6.2 This has been impossible no matter what I tried.
I therefore didn't allow 1.6.2 to be updated and all was and is well, still is on my Desktop computer.

Old Laptop died recently so sourced a new one and thought why not give PDFcreator lastest version a go, that's PDFCreator 2.4.1
Well again, what a waste of time that was, it just will not PDF the large document.

So folks, before I go off on one... Dump the new version of PDFCreator in the rubbish bin and install 1.6.2 on the Laptop, can I ask for a step by step, How do I get this latest version to print my expleting large document to PDF... Please!

I have a large document <---- 2 metres ----> x 350mm.
I have a suitable page size set in Windows Print Server Properties-Forms that matches the document size.

Now what do I do with PDFCreator to get it to print my document to PDF?

Thanks

We use PDFCreator to write a PDF to a file which is picked up by an FTP process every 15 minutes. Additionally every 15 minutes (1 minute before the FTP) we copy files from the Autosave folder to an archive folder. I'm guessing we are getting the above mentioned error because one of these processes is grabbing a file that PDFCreator is not done writing? Is there a way to use a batch command to pause PDF creator from writing for a certain amount of time? This error is causing a serious workflow failure.

Rotation not working in 1.5.1

@wooly wrote:

I am using the code found here to print out an Excel file to PDF.

Some sheets are portrait and some are landscape, which I have set within Excel.

When printing to PDF, PDFCreator gets the page orientation correct, but rotates pages: for example, the first page in my document prints as landscape, so landscape pages are fine but portrait pages are rotated 90°. This happens whether I print through VBA or print to PDFCreator manually and then combine the files.

I've tried PDFArchitect and it works to rotate the pages back, but this is a process that will be repeated often so it's not realistic to do this every time.

I'm using version 1.5.1 on Windows 7 if it's relevant (I know it's an older version but that's what IT will allow at work).

I also tried going into printer settings (in the Control Panel) but changing the orientation there didn't affect anything. Are there any settings I can alter manually or in my VBA code that will stop the rotation?

Problem to merge multiple PDF with Access VBA

@Jocman wrote:

Hi all.
I'm trying to merge multiple access report (exported as single PDF) to one single PDF.

I found a great help on this forum with some code (sorry I don't remember the author of the post, it was posted for Excel), and I set the code to work with my "problem".

It seems to work fine: I've 3 PDFs (in this case 3 single pages PDF) to merge to 1, and it does it, I get a single PDF (3 pages)

Then I deleted this new created file and re-run the routine, but instead to get once again the merged one (3 pages) I get a single PDF but with only the first PDF inside (1 page)
If I delete this new file and re-run again the routine, I get the right file (3 pages); but if I delete that file and re-run, I get the single page again. And so on.....

Practically: during the "odd-merging" I get the right ones, during the "even-merging" I get the wrong ones

I don't understand why.....

Thanks for any advice

Andrea

Here comes the code (the part of the code where I define all the vars is working fine so I omitted that part):

Dim oPDF As PdfCreatorObj
Set oPDF = Nothing
Set oPDF = New PdfCreatorObj

'On Error GoTo EndSub ' this is commented out for debuging purposes
Dim q As PDFCreator_COM.Queue

Set q = New PDFCreator_COM.Queue

oPDF.AddFileToQueue sFilenames(1)

oPDF.AddFileToQueue sFilenames(2)

oPDF.AddFileToQueue sFilenames(3)

q.Initialize
Debug.Print "oPDF isinstancerunning: " & oPDF.IsInstanceRunning ' close Excel and open if true.

q.WaitForJobs 2, 5

Debug.Print "q.Count: " & q.Count ' here it prints either 1 or 2. Should always be 2.

q.MergeAllJobs

Dim job As PDFCreator_COM.PrintJob

While q.Count > 0
Set job = q.NextJob
job.SetProfileByGuid ("DefaultGuid")
job.ConvertTo (sPDFPath & "\" & sPDFName)
Debug.Print job.IsFinished
Debug.Print job.IsSuccessful
Debug.Print "q.Count3: " & q.Count
Wend

EndSub:

Hallo zusammen,

kann mir jemand sagen, ob und wie ich die Schriftart des Textes ändern kann, der in den "Profileinstellungen > Aktionen > E-Mail Client öffnen > Nachricht bearbeiten" eingetragen ist ?

Ich kann hier keine Möglichkeit finden und beim Erzeugen der PDF-Datei und Anhängen an eine mail wird der in der mail dann automatisch eingetragene Text mit Schriftart "Calibri" angezeigt.

Ich hätte allerdings gerne eine Formatierung in "Arial", da das die bei uns generell verwendete Schriftart ist.

Das Mail-Programm ist Outlook.

Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe.

I am using PDFCreator with Windows 7/Firefox 50.1.0.

On some html pages, the print works OK. On more complex pages (ie with graphics), the "preparing" window comes up, the CPU usage goes through the roof (60-80%), the Cancel button is greyed out, Firefox shows the "Not Responding" us, stand clicking the red X causes Firefox to go away.

Any suggestions?

Today, the files stop being printed by PDF Creator , and I think there was a pop-up message saying something like there have been so many prints , I couldn´t read it as the window message dissaperared.

I purchased PDF Creator Plus just in case it may help.

I don´t know if there is a maximum number of file printed and if there is a way to reset this counter.

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Print to email, works locally not on print server

I have a report that can only be sent to a printer not an email. So the idea was to install this software, that way on the back end the print job will be created automatically and sent to the email every time the report was created.

This works, locally but no on my print server. I was wondering if I need the server version if this will work and if there was a demo of the server version so I can test the entire workflow to see if it will work before buying.

Thanks

"Save Location" with PDFCreator Server

@Jokibar wrote:

Hi,
we are using the PDFCreator Server on a print server. We use the properties "Filename" (fix name) and "Save Location" (\ClientComputer\c$\Temp) to save files automatically to the C:\Temp folder on the client computer.
This works for most client computers, but not for one. On this computer the printer doesn't create the file, but not error occurs.
Do you know similar issues and the reason for that?
(The access permissions are set, the folder exists, the server service is running...)

Many thanks
