Hi!
I'm trying to use COM API to print file to PDF. I tried c# sample that is going with PDFCreator installation (PDFCreator\COM Scripts\C#.Net\COM_TestForm) but I'm getting the following error:
Could you help me please ? Thank you in advance ![:slight_smile:]( ":slight_smile:")

The C# code is this (it fails at "if (!jobQueue.WaitForJob(10))")
//dynamic jobQueue = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromCLSID(new Guid("66A9CAB1-404A-4918-8DE2-29C26B9B271E")));
Queue jobQueue = new Queue();
var assemblyDir = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
var resultsDir = assemblyDir.Replace("\\bin\\Debug\\COM_TestForm.exe", "\\Results");
var convertedFilePath = Path.Combine(resultsDir, "TestPage_2PDF.pdf");
try
{
jobQueue.Initialize();
PrintWindowsTestPage();
if (!jobQueue.WaitForJob(10))
{
MessageBox.Show("The job didn't arrive within 10 seconds");
}
else
{
var printJob = jobQueue.NextJob;
printJob.SetProfileByGuid("DefaultGuid");
printJob.ConvertTo(convertedFilePath);
if (!printJob.IsFinished || !printJob.IsSuccessful)
{
MessageBox.Show("Could not convert: ");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("The conversion was succesful!");
}
}
}
catch (Exception err)
{
MessageBox.Show("An error occured: " + err.Message);
}
finally
{
jobQueue.ReleaseCom();
}
