PDF Creator just prints
  •  Hi All,

     

    Everytime I try to create a PDF it just sends it to the printer and prints...

    If I unistall and reinstall it opens the save box and creates a PDF for the first copy then reverts to printing all subsequent PDF's please help!!

     

    PDFCreator is brilliant and this just takes the cream off

     

    Cheers

  • Hi,

    is PDFCreator your default printer, or is the printer which actually prints your default?

  •  Hi There,

    Its asks to default and I click yes, then it reverts to the network printer as default.

     

    cheers

  • I have been experiencing a similar - but not the same - problem for the past few months. It used to only happen periodically but now it happens every time I try to use PDF Creator.  I used to be able to just reboot my computer and it would work properly but that doesn't work anymore. I also used to be able to get it to work with updated versions but that doesn't happen now either.

    My problem is I cannot Add (print) any document with the .pdf printer. It immediately goes to my default (wireless) All In One HP printer which physically prints the page I want to make into a .pdf. I have tried printing a test page and that works fine. I have also tried changing the Default printer to the .pdf one but then I have one heck of a problem returning the wireless printer back to Default (I end up having to reconfigure the whole printer, which, when it is a wireless one, is quite time-consuming).

    I use an older XP computer.

    I am afraid I don't understand all the SetUpLog info that I have seen posted - I am not that user friendly - but as I say, I have dutifully installed all updated PDF Creator versions when told to.  I just recently installed the 1.4.0 version.  Please help! I really liked PDF when I first started using it and it worked so well!  thank you!

  • Hi,

     

    my guess would be, that it has something to do with your physical printers driver/software/configuration, but I can´t say for sure.
