Hi,

I'm little bit new to PDF Creator COM and i still trying from your example in vb6, but i'm always getting error '-2147024809 : Empty path is not legal' when i tried to loop the TestPage2PDF process. And i don't know what is wrong with it?

Any help would be great for me.

Private Sub testPage_btn_Click(Index As Integer)
Dim PDFCreatorQueue As Queue
Dim PrintJob As PrintJob
Dim ShellObj As Object
Dim fullPath As String
Dim njajal As String
Dim oPdfCreatorObj As New PdfCreatorObj

Set PDFCreatorQueue = CreateObject("PDFCreator.JobQueue")
assemblyDir = App.Path
fullPath = "\magi-ds\edp-04\Joshua\COBA\trial.pdf"
Set ShellObj = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

'this is where i'm try to loop
For i = 1 To 21
njajal = "\magi-ds\edp-04\TRIAL\boba" & i & ".pdf"
MsgBox ("Initializing PDFCreator queue...")
PDFCreatorQueue.Initialize

oPdfCreatorObj.AddFileToQueue njajal

'Of course, you can print whatever you'd like to (make use of the PDFCreatorObj obj)
'But in order to keep the code small and clear we will only print the windows test page
'MsgBox ("Printing windows test page...")
'ShellObj.ShellExecute "RUNDLL32.exe", "PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /k /n ""PDFCreator""", "", "open", 1

If Not PDFCreatorQueue.WaitForJob(10) Then
MsgBox ("The job didn't arrive at the queue within 10 seconds")
Else
MsgBox ("Currently there are " & PDFCreatorQueue.Count & " job(s) in the queue")
MsgBox ("Getting job instance ")
Set PrintJob = PDFCreatorQueue.NextJob

PrintJob.SetProfileByGuid ("DefaultGuid")

PrintJob.SetProfileSetting "PdfSettings.Security.Enabled", "true"
PrintJob.SetProfileSetting "PdfSettings.Security.EncryptionLevel", "Aes128Bit"
PrintJob.SetProfileSetting "PdfSettings.Security.OwnerPassword", "1234"
PrintJob.SetProfileSetting "PdfSettings.Security.RequireUserPassword", "true"
PrintJob.SetProfileSetting "PdfSettings.Security.UserPassword", "4321"

MsgBox ("Converting under DefaultGuid")
PrintJob.ConvertTo (fullPath)

If (Not PrintJob.IsFinished Or Not PrintJob.IsSuccessful) Then
    MsgBox ("Could not convert the file: " & fullPath)
Else
    MsgBox ("Job finished successfully.")
End If

End If
PDFCreatorQueue.Clear
MsgBox ("Releasing the queue object.")
PDFCreatorQueue.ReleaseCom
Next
Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
MsgBox ("An error occured during the process: " & Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & ". Releasing the queue object.")
PDFCreatorQueue.ReleaseCom
End Sub

Thank you before.

Can't seem to make merge work after upgrade

Hello,

I posted this question yesterday, but I think I may have put it in the wrong place, so I'm posting it here today.

I'm running on Windows 10 Pro Version 1809.

I updated today from PDFCreator 2.5 (I think?) to PDFCreator 3.5.1
I know that's a pretty big jump.

With the new PDFCreator 3.5.1 I can't seem to figure out how to make the merge function work. I can see the merge button when I print something. When I print multiple files I see a small number in a circle on the merge button showing me the number of documents in the queue. But when I actually click "merge" it just prints each document one by one separately. And where is the screen I used to use to rearrange the print jobs into one document? I can't figure this out at all. Please help!

Update: I found the "merge all" button in a drop down from the "merge" button and "merge all" works as expected, saving a pdf that includes every page from every pdf in the queue. But I can't seem to find the job screen that lets me rearrange the print jobs before merging.

I found this help page:
http://docs.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator/3.5/en/pdfcreator/using-pdfcreator/merge-two-documents/
Which says: " You can use the Merge button to view the list of print jobs."
But when I click the "merge" button instead of viewing a list of print jobs it just prints each job separately.

Thanks,

noshius

HotFolder Not Converting All jpg files

@SammyRosario wrote:

I have a hotfolder configured to autosave to its current location.
Profile is set as below.

Save
Automatic is Enabled
FileName =
Target Directory =
Dont overwrite existing files is enabled

Convert
PDF

HotFolder
Source Files = Move them to the recycle bin
Unprintable Files = Move them to the recycle bin
PDF printer = to the Above printer
Filter = .pdf Exclude all listed file extensions from conversion

The problem is that when I move a set of files to the hot folder configured above it does not convert all of the files.

For example I move over

image1.jpg
image2.jpg
image3.jpg
image4.jpg
image5.jpg

The result is
image1.pdf
image2.pdf
image4.pdf

When I move over the same set of files again

The results may be the same but random missing file or completes the conversion correctly.

Need help to identify the issue.

In the profiles window I uncheck the box to open with the standard viewer, but despite this the generated file is not opened and I am always offered PDFArcitect.
What can I do?

Stripping text format

Hello all,
I've been looking to use PDFCreator to replace our dot matrix printer for invoices.
Its working well except for 1 issue our old software creates in PDFCreator,
I have set a PDF background image to make the invoice look better than a blank page.
Unfortunately when the Software sends a print job the first page of the print has all the text formatted with a white box around it.
The pages that follow come out perfect, no weird white boxes.

I was wondering if there is a way to have PDFCreator simplify the text format so it only outputs the text with transparent background if that makes sense.

Random COM Instance threads utilizes all CPU thread

Hello,
We are struggling strange issue while using PDF Creator Terminal COM.
The system is Windows Server 2008 R2 and the newest PDF Creator Terminal.
Problem happens to PDF Save and Merge functions. I believe this happens to other functions too.
Here is the point for example:
There is ~20 iterations of saving PDF print job.
At random iterations the thread initiated by PDF Creator COM DLL perhaps fails and utilizes all CPU thread. This leads to CPU severe throttling...
You can find it's details on the screen. Please let me know if you need further details.

Hi,
I received an available version 4.0.0 update this morning. When I navigated to the download to get it, the download file is version 3.5.0. I did NOT actually download the file and tried to install it since the name of the file says 3.5.0. Just a heads-up. Thanks.

Print to home directory - PDF creator server 2.1.1

Hi all,

I installed PDF creator server 2.1.1 on a Windows 2016 server. We use Windows 10 for our users. I can not find the correct syntax for the target directory so when our users print to PDF, their outcome will be placed in their own home directory. I use DFS like shown in example below.

\\dfsnamespace\shares\users\%username%\PDF

When I paste path above in Windows explorer, I automatically am redirected to the home folder of the loged in user.

I have been using PDFCreator the same way for over a year. As of Wednesday, it was working correctly. Today it isn't and nothing has changed on my end. I am programmatically setting up file name and directory and have the profile set to not show the save dialog but it keeps showing up. Every time I enable the auto save for that profile, it gets set back to false. Any idea what is going on?

When I create a PDF I want to be able to have a Thumbnail view in Windows Explorer but not have a Document outline. However I can't seem to enable one without the other.

In my Profile..
Under; Page View: I choose "Single page view"
Under; Document View: I choose "Thumbnail images visible"

However when the PDF is opened in Adobe Reader/Acrobat I also see a "Document outline" which I do not want.

How can I enable Thumbnail Viewing without enabling a Document Outline when rendered in Adobe Reader/Acrobat ?

Word print does not land in queue

Hi guys,

So i am having some trouble, getting offices files to land in the queue.

I am using a powershell script to print every file in a folder, this works. I can see all the files be printed and go the printer Queue.
Powershell code for printing: Start-Process -FilePath "$($location)$($file)" –Verb Print -PassThru | %{sleep 10;$_} | kill

I have a program running in the background that uses the code if(!jobQueue.WaitForJobs(count, timer)) to check for if all the jobs are found, within the given time limit.(time limit is not the problem i checked that)
This shows me that if i print a word document, it does not show up in the queue.
PDF works fine.

Thank you for your help

Unknown internal error 29200

After I deleted "pdfcmon.dll" from "system32" and I re-installed the free PDFCreator 3.5.1, it finally started to work slowly and correctly, just for a few days.
Now I cannot print any document to a PDF file as I always get systematically the error message "Unknown internal error 29200" and nothing else.
On old time I already got issues with the version 2.3.2 and I had to uninstall it and install the previous version 2.1.2. I am tired of uninstalling and reinstalling this bad software.

Right now I am using the free CutePDF Writer and it works quite fine.
Try it !
