Hiya,
Initial looks of the 1.5.1 release looked good to me. using process explorer I was able to see the handle count stays steady and the private memory, CPU and I/O behave as I’d expect. I have found a few issues though, that I’ve noticed when installing and testing on our 32-bit 2003 server:
1) The installation, despite being a server setup and an upgrade from 1.5.0, re=inserted the Startup monitor. The problem in this is no2 …
2) If I run the pdfcreator.exe as a service, and then let the monitor run as well, then I can end up with 2 PDFs being created for every print job
3) Last night I set a 600 page print test running by mistake. At about page 70 I stopped the print job via the windows printer Canel job.
Using process explorer, and monitoring pdfcreator.exe and spoolsv.exe I could see that the spooler was receiving and processing the job until I cancelled. I then expect that to be the end of it, but instead, pdfcreator then spurred into life, absorbing about 30% CPU - I guess it started processing the job.
After that, subsequent jobs I sent through never produced the pdf. When I started the monitor, I could see the 70-odd pages was still being processed and other jobs were queued. I left the server churning overnight.
When I check it this morning, there’s an application crash error on the screen:

Obviously the version there confused me. So I’ve checked the binary of pdfcreator.exe: v 1.5.0.1, 3088kb 23/10/12
