Hello,
I really need some help for the installation of the server version.
We had a PDF Server with a license activated on the server but PDFCreator got removed by error with all the settings.
But now that I try to reinstall it it says that my license key is already used.
I wish you could help me as fast as possible.
Thank you

Hi - I am running PDF Creator 1.1.1 and am finding that I have to manually renew the license each week by using the appropriate button in the settings dialog. The service shuts down unless I remember to re-activate. Is there a way to automate this?

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):
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:
- 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.
- 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):
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.

Hey guys,
My company uses PDFCreator to print documents from our ERP, and automatically attach the generated PDF to a new Outlook email.
Up to now, we’ve been using 1.7.0 to do this, but I’m looking to migrate us to 2.5.3.
My issue is that I’d like to eliminate the step where after printing, the pdfcreator prompt pops up, and the user needs to click on email to actually attach to the email.
This seems to be possible using automatic saving, however I don’t seem to be able to use “” as the auto save directory like with 1.7.0. I’ve tried using “%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp” but run into permission issues. The PDFCreator.log ends up with errors like this:
2017-09-14 13:35:25.9201 [Error] pdfforge.PDFCreator.Conversion.Ghostscript.Conversion.GhostscriptConverter.DoConversion: There was an unexpected error while converting the Job C:\Users\u3508\AppData\Local\Temp\PDFCreator\Spool\10-9E53E5756CC14DAEB714246203A055BD.inf: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path ‘%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp’ is denied.
This is how it was configured back in the day:
Do you have any suggestions for configuring a temp directory? This is going to be deployed to many users with PDQ Deploy, so I’m hoping we can use a local variable rather than having to visit every computer to configure their printer settings.
Thanks

Hello,
Recently we upgraded from the old free PDF Creator to the new PDF Creator Server edition and have been experiencing an issue with the spooler. It would appear it might be causing a corrupted spooler file, because the spooler service is unable to start until we clear C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS.
Print jobs are set to render on clients computer and after the last spooler crash we have disabled the advanced printing features to hopefully reduce the number of errors on the servers spooler.

As a professional custom newsletter publisher, I (still) use Adobe’s Pagemaker 7.0, unsupported since 2001.
Invariably the .PMD file must be converted to a PDF and found PDFCreator does a great job, until recently. Suddenly I get an “Internal Ghostscript error (29100)” notice, and it proceeds no further.
I downloaded the latest version of PDFCreator (Version 3.0.0) but it did n better. I see there have been others with this same problem but saw no solutions.
Can you help?

I already use PDFCreator for generating pdf files, but rather than change the setup each time to create ‘tif’ files can I install the program a second time with a different name/setup for when I need to generate tif files?
If I can, can someone help with ‘simple’ instruction please?
Thanks

Hi Folks, Maybe you can help me. I’m new here and my IT guy doesn’t know the answer to this. This is what the help files say about e-mailing a pdf.
E-mail a PDF
E-mailing a PDF is just like creating a PDF in PDFCreator.Choose a method from the chapter Create a PDF.
Instead of clicking the Save button in the PDFCreator window, you click on the E-Mail button.
Select the location where you would like to save the PDF. This location is necessary in order to attach the PDF to the email.
Note
This is also the location where you can specify which format you would like to save the document in. You can save in PDF, PNG, JPEG or TIFF format.Your PDF will be created and automatically attached to a new e-mail in your default e-mail program, which will be opened.
Well, my version of pdf creator doesn’t do this. When I click the E-Mail button, creator places an unnamed document directly onto an outlook e-mail message. It doesn’t take me through the save procedure first. How can I set-up to make creator do what the help files say it does?
Any help would be great! Thanks.
Chuck

PDFCreator does not open the last saved location by default, as both 2.5.3 did and as it states it should in the user manual. Please see below for the wording from the manual.
As seen in the next below image, it always defaults to the desktop, no matter where I previously saved my last document.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
