Starting today, we’re getting an invalid license warning on our PDF create install.

I’ve blocked the license key in this image, but it’s there on the popup.
If I try “Online Activation,” it fails. If I cancel out, it lets me print.
There seems to be some mismatch between the “license is valid - Expires Never” section and these popups, along with the fields that say “Activation valid til:”

Hallo allerseits,

aus einer am PC dargestellten topografischen Rasterkarte möchte ich mittels “pdfCreator 2.5.3” einen großen Ausschnitt als Bitmap speichern. Einzelheiten dazu:
PC mit Windows 7 (64 bit) und 16 GB RAM
Einstellungen pdfCreator:
benutzerdefinierte Papiergröße: 4000 x 4000 mm
Auflösung: 300 dpi
ICM deaktiviert
speichern als png, 300 dpi, 24 bit
Das hat auch gleich beim ersten Versuch sehr gut geklappt und das über 1 GB große Ergebnis ermutigte zu weiteren Ausdrucken. Hier schlug jedoch Murphys Gesetz zu: “wenn es auf Anhieb klappt, liegt der Fehler tiefer”. pdfCreator speicherte zwar wieder scheinheilig etliche Minuten lang ein Bild ab, das Ergebnis war jedoch um 90 nach rechts gedreht, und in dem kanpp 1,5 GB großen png-Bild fehlte ein größerer Bereich und blieb einfach weiß. Hat dazu jemand einen Rat?

Viele Grüße
Wolfgang

I use PDFCreator 2.5.3 on Win10 x64 to print quickly a few little bit same PDFs (~11 pages of text).
and in most of my cases PDFCreator stops producing a pdf files (produce only part of ordered jobs)
printer queue is empty
and TaskManager show only one of PDFCreator process, and this process keep idle infinitely:

I just attached to it by WinDBG and dump a stack:

Hi everyone, I’m using version 2.3 and the file sizes of the PDF’s are increasing over 100x. I’ve tested using the PDFCreator testpages, as an example. The original is only 75KB, but when I print it again through PDFCreator, the new copy is over 7MB. I’ve tried switching some of the compression settings, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Anyone know how to fix this?

Da ich noch eine sehr alte Version installiert hatte, habe ich auf den aktuellen 2.5.3. aktualisiert, aber auch hier dauert es über 5 min. bis die Seite “gedruckt” wird, dabei wird der Rechner extem langsamt, hängt sich zig mal auf und dann passiert es noch, daß ein “Druckfehler” gemeldet wird.
Ich hatte mal so viel Spaß am PDF Creator, aber das gefällt mir überhaupt nicht.
Habe schon den pdf24 installiert, aber da kam auch nur ein “Druckerfehler”.
Nun habe ich alles wieder deinstalliert, und den 2.5.3 Creator installiert, aber auch hier dauert es gefühlte Stunden bis sich etwas tut.
Wer kann mir helfen?
Danke!

It needs to be available to all users.

Can I accomplish this with PDFCreator?

I have it set to open an email client (outlook 2010). I have 1.9.3 installed previous and everything was great, except that it would not run my outlook vba code that I just developed. So, I installed the latest PDFCreator and the VBA code runs good. However, there is an issue…

Every time I print it pulls up a new email window (like it should), however the PDFCreator window also shows (the windows where it says application settinngs and profile settings). I have to close it everytime, otherwise the next file I go to print using PDFCreator will just sit there and not open another new email screen.

Is there a way so that this screen does not show?

I use PDFCreator 2.5.3 and Windows 7. I’m trying to set the custom PostScript page size under Control Panel > Devices and Printers > PDFCreator > Printing Preferences to 5.75 x 8.75 inches and it’s not possible. When I type 5.75 in the Width field and press Tab to go to the Height field, the value changes to 0.00. When I just type 5.75 and click OK, I receive an “Custom Page Size Error” and the width changes to 1 inch. I can enter integer values (ie. no decimal places) and click OK, but the values change when I open the Custom Page Size dialog again.

Changing the custom PageScript page size used to work with an older version of PDFCreator, but I don’t remember which version it was.

I can change the PostScript page size in the print task options.

Bonjour,

Sur windows server 2012 R2, PdfCreator standard.
Quand j’imprime à partir d’excel en mode ‘normal’, les pdf sont correctement créés.
En revanche, en pilotage OLE, les pdf créés sont en réalité des fichiers PostScript !

Quelqu’un a-t-il déjà rencontré ce problème ?

Hallo Zusammen,

ich nutze derzeit pdfCreator 2.2 und die von mir erzeugen .PDF Dateien haben stets den gleichen Inhalt, werden in der Version 2.2 runde 9-10kb groß.
Ich habe nun testweise die aktuellste Version ausprobiert und hier bekomme ich, bei gleichen Einstellungen, Datein von 14-16 kB Größe. Ich würde sogar den Kauf einer der Business Versionen in Betracht ziehen, wenn mir nur garantiert würde, dass die Dateien nicht größer als die bisherigen 10kb werden.

Wie sich das auswirkt, wenn man die Dateien in einer Datenbank nachhalten muss, kann man sich leicht vorstellen.
Gibt es einen bestimmten Grund dafür, warum die Dateien durch den Versionswechsel so groß werden?

Welche Einstellungen muss man treffen, um die Datei so klein wie möglich zu kriegen?

Vielen Dank für die Hilfe,
Sabcoll

I’m having some trouble printing from a specific application. When I open up the printer in windows and select print test page the auto save features will function correctly, however when submitting a job using command line the job never completes. The job seems to hit the spooler but the pdf file is never generated where I think it should be. Is there a log file somewhere where I can find how this is working.

The command I’m using to print is this:

pdfcreator.exe /PrintFile=“c:\filepath\filename.txt” /printername=“PDFCreator.exe”

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks

Hello. Sorry for my english. Firstly i’m trying search solving of my problem, but couldn’t find.

I need to use PDFCreator as proxy-printer on windows 10 desktop. In setting->action i set checked “print document”. But documents was printed with wrong paper size.

Generated by PDFCreator documents have size 210 by 297 mm (correct A4 dimensions).

Printed documents have size 215.9 by 279.4 mm (not corrected).

So, i checked all setting of all printers, all settings in print dialogs. Size and dpi at all of this is identical.

What i do wrong?

I am a neophyte to intermediate VBA Developer (and SOLO/All Things IT Director). We have a VBA heavy spreadsheet that uses PDF Creator to make and help email a PDF of one of the worksheets.

Here lately, it has been inconsistent on a few machines. So much so that I put one of the users in a rebuilt Windows 10 machine and it works fine again. But alas, I have another user who is having problems.

So I thought I’d look into upgrading to 2.5.3 but I know I need to replace the clsPDFCreator object.

The VBA code only calls for it one time in this line:

Set pdfjob = CreateObject("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator")

I doubt it would be that easy to simply replace clsPDFCreator with another command but if so, which one would I use? Would it be PDFCreatorObj?

Thanks…

Hello,

I don’t use PDFCreator so often, just once per month or even less frequently. However, I noticed possible bug in newest 2.5.3 version. My previous release was 2.4.1 and it worked OK.

Short background: My system is Windows 10 Pro (Version 1607 with all updates) and I use Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3 for quite long time to prepare documents (due to their specific, they are prepared separately). Some of them are in portrait orientation and the rest is in landscape. Procedure is following: I export odt files via OpenOffice to pdf format and then I merge all documents into one final PDF output (using PDFCreator), which I want to print on both sides of paper partially due to practical reasons:

• portrait pages - flip on long edge
• landscape pages - flip on short edge

To be clear, I open PDF files in Adobe Reader 11.0.22.

And here is the problem. Final document should contain 7 pages, so I am able to set pages 1-2 to print as portrait and pages 3-7 as landscape. It worked in previous PDFCreator as I expected. In newest version, I have 7 pages before printing, but when I choose specific range of pages to print, it is set by default as “1-3” (previously it was “1-7”). In preview I can see all 7 pages (not 3, as it is displayed). When I set range as “1-2”, I see in preview pages “1-4” and exactly 4 pages are printed (I verified it), what is definitely incorrect, because I need to set different flip modes for portrait and landscape pages. Moreover, when I set single page, it looks following:

• page 1 - indeed, the first page is ready to print
• page 2 - it sets page 4 to print
• page 3 - page no. 7 is ready to print
• page 4 - OK, page 4 is visible on preview. Same effect with page 5, 6 and 7 - correct page is displayed.

Here is screenshot (the same effect is visible, when I change printer type from Canon MX530 to PDFCreator, so printer’s soft is not the cause):

bug1.png815x659 34.2 KB

I remind - I still have old documents (source odt, partial pdf and final pdf) and they are displayed correctly. When I created such final PDF document from old files, but with newest PDFCreator, the issue is also visible. This is the reason, why I assume, that newest version is affected somehow.

I tried to do some tests:

1. Test with files discussed above. For the first look, it seems that merging landscape oriented documents is affected. I printed multiple times one portrait oriented document (mean the same document is merged several times into one final document) and didn’t notice problem, while the same procedure for landscape oriented document allowed me to reproduce issue. However, it can be caused by special content in my specific landscape documents.
2. Test with newly created documents. During this test I found possible root cause. Here is scenario, how to reproduce issue: create odt document with one portrait oriented page and next document with landscape orientation and 2 pages, where manual page break creates new page. Export such documents to PDF files. Merge received PDF files into one file using PDFCreator (portrait page should be first in final document). Open final document in Adobe Reader - 3 pages should be there. Effect - when you want to print range of pages equal “1-2”, the preview shows always 3 pages and 3 pages are printed instead of 2 (verified):
   
   bug2.png815x660 26.3 KB
   
   It is definitely wrong.

Please try to investigate described “phenomena”. I can sent my results, if my description isn’t clear and it is necessary to proceed. However, please be aware, that due to very limited time, my answers may be significantly delayed.

Thank you for your efforts in advance.

BR,
