Hello.

Whenever I try to add a new queue in PDFCreator Server v. 2.0.1 build 1946, it creates the printer queue in Windows, but does not install the drivers.

It might have something to do with the PDFForge certificate being expired, but I'm not quite sure.

Seems the forum is the better but more unprofessional way to get help fast. Especially when eligible for "priority support" an auto answer on the contact form pointing out that we can expect an answer in the next three working days is a little bit ridiculous.

We run a Windows 2016 print server, I installed PDFCreator Server in Version 2.1.1
I have one queue which:

1. Stores a PDF in a network share in the local network.
2. Send to SMTP
3. Send to Printer (Network Printer in the LAN installed via IP.)

Step 1 works flawlessly.
Step 2 works too but takes forever, if I disable Step 3 it works also flawlessly.
Step 3 does not work.

Scenario 1:
Print testpage from Printserver on PDF printer:
(Instantly) Job appears in printer queue of PDF printer
(Instantly) Job disappears in printer queue of PDF printer and in Live Status with "running print" within PDF Creator Server
(+60 seconds) PDF is generated in network shared folder on fileserver
(+120 seconds) Email is sent.
Then the job is stuck in the Live status with the status "running print"
Errors shows no Error Reports
Eventviewer (Logging enabled on level Trace) shows an Error.
(+606 seconds) mail is sent a second time and job is shown as success without the physical printer ever printed a copy of the generated pdf.

Have a pretty basic Hot Folder destination for scans that need to convert a PDF into an image and then drops the completed file to another location. Works beautifully.... when it wants to.

More often than not, a scan lands in the hot folder and nothing happens. It can sit there for hours with no action taken on it. I need open up the Hot Folder tray app, stop it, start it, then everything goes through correctly.

We only use this for a couple scans per day and on some days none at all. I can confirm that the software is running the entire time.

Hi, with the latest couple of updates I am unable to find the option to change page orientation that was previously available when printing to pdf creator.

Is it still there and i can't find it? or has it been removed? I often mark up drawings which are in landscape, sometimes the pdf creator prints them in landscape, more often it doesn't

Appreciate any guidance. Thankss

Hi.

Our clients wants to use the PDF Creator in his network environment (Domain Network - DC etc.)

Looking at the free version (Which my client wants to use) I would like to know what is possible with this version.

He has around 40 Client PC's and about half of them can have multiple users logging-in to the same PC.

He wants me to centrally deploy to with group policies (Or any other way) for each user / PC - PDF Creator with a specific set of settings - Such as - specifying the 'Target Directory', 'Don't overwrite existing files' in the SAVE settings.

I am not seeing these available features in the free version.

Could anyone please advise if these features are possible with the free versions or does he need another version.

Thank you
Andy

It's VERY annoying to have to use the mouse to select the field to modify it. I'm wondering if the developers ever use their product sometimes ?

We are encountering a confirmed issue where at least some of our versions of PDFCreator versions fail to print to PDF with Chrome version 80 (works on v79, upgrade to v80 then fails). So far version 1.7.3 does NOT seem to have this problem, but DOES happen on 3.3.2, 4.0.1 and 4.0.2.

The exact behavior of the failure varies where 3.x does nothing, and 4.0.x gives a message saying "PDFCreator was not able to convert...". So far I have only confirmed this behavior on

Any thoughts on possible workarounds or when a fix might be available?

We don't use Ghostscript, and we print websites so there is not file to download first. Having PDFCreator open while trying to print does not change the behavior, and this was tested using a domain administrator.

Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB/LTSC
.NET 4.7.2 on most systems

I don't have any crash logs for this specific issue.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I will happily provide any additional information that you might need.

Hello folks,
I have been using Pdf Creator for several years to create e-mail messages with an attached .pdf file to be sent via MAPI with outlook 2016 or Mozilla Thunderbird.
By installing the latest version 4.0.3 as an upgrade, I encountered a BUG: when I click to create the email, two client windows open instead of one.
This happens to me both with Outlook 2016, and with the latest version of thunderbird.
I believe there is a bug in the MAPI call to the client which creates two windows instead of one.
This is a port of the debug:

I am evaluating using PDF Creator on some windows based equipment we have. When the machine currently completes a batch it prints a PDF to a defined folder. The operator does not see anything or need to interact.

Looking at other installs and forum posts for PDF creator the SW can be configured to both create a PDF and Paper copy in the same action? Which is what we want. However can this print be triggered without the operator needing to interact with the PC? The PDF will be sent to the same location and the paper print to the same printer.
