Hi, I use PDF Creator to create soft copies of labels to email to our warehouse in another city. Typically, each label is unique so my label software creates each page as a separate print job that I later merge.
The problem I found today is that PDF Creator had an update notification for each one of those 97 pages. I'm stuck with 32bit Windows because of our ERP system so memory can be an issue and having 97 print jobs and 97 update notifications at the same time pretty much ground everything to a halt. My PC was unresponsive for 10-15 minutes while I waited for the print jobs to catch up with the notifications. Thankfully, it didn't crash because it takes a while to get up and running again.
I've turned off the notifications to keep this from happening again. I thought you might want to be aware of this if you want people to stay current and for others not to have the same problem.
Thank you.
edit: Today it got worse. This time I had 167 each of print jobs, update notifications and error reports. Once I finally cleaned that up, I checked and found updates had been turned back on. I fixed that, ran a single page and checked again to make sure updates were still turned off (they were) and went back to work. Nope, here we go again. After I cleaned that up, I checked and updates were back on. So basically, I have no choice but to set work aside so I can get the update I don't need because it's already cost me nearly an hour and I can't get anything done until I do.
edit 2: It screwed up the update so I lost my printers and settings I had done with this program.
