PDF Architect 5 Standard and Pro freezes and cannot close

PDF Architect PDF Architect English

I am using both Standard and Pro in a business setting on multiple machines. I have clients calling me because PDF Architect will freeze and cannot be closed unless you “End Task” within Task Manager. This happens at random times, anywhere from one to multiple PDFs can be open. We are running HP Probook 430 G3’s with Windows 10, i5-6200U @ 2.3GHz with 8GB DDR4 so I know I have enough power and memory. Any advice that could help rectify this will be greatly appreciated. This is a daily occurrence for my PDF power users.

Hi,

sorry for the trouble,
I am afraid we haven’t heard of this yet, so there is no known problem/solution.
It might help to disable the GPU accelerated graphics in the Graphics section of the PDF Architect options. Is the latest update installed (5.0.24.33400)?

Best regards,

Robin

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the response, the update must be a new one because that was the first thing I tried and it said I was up to date. I installed this update and disabled the GPU accelerated graphics (I was wondering about that one in the first place), so far so good. I should have a clearer idea tomorrow when the power users really put it to the test, I’ll let you know.

Thanks again,

KC

Hi!

We have the same Problem here. Disable GPU acc does not help.

After closing ALL pdfarchitekt processes it works for a random time.

System Win10 1607. Last Update installed.

Best regards

Hi all
Same problem here version 5 on Windows 10 PRO with 8 gigs of RAM; the only way to close the program is with task manager, very annoying

Hi,

does the crash happen at random times, or when performing certain actions?
Please try to reinstall PDF Architect in case the issue is caused by an installaton problem; so far we haven’t been able to reproduce the issue on our test systems. Does the Windows Event manager log any informaton about the crash? I will ask our devs which logs might help to troubleshoot this problem and update the thread accordingly.
Sorry for the trouble.

Best regards,

Robin

We also have this issue on a few desktops with the pdf Architect 6 on windows 7. i will try to disable the GPU accelerated graphics and see if that help. It also seems to be when they use single windows and not tab.
