In the middle of converting a .dxf document, I was asked if I wanted to update to the new 2.1 version. I clicked yes, went through the steps and now once I start the conversion process and select the PDFCreator printer, it goes no further. I got some message at one point about the Spool to my printer blah, blah, blah. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed 3 times with no changes. Need help getting the path to the printer set up.
Hi,
this most likely means your temp folder (C:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\temp) has no or incorrect permissions, which prevents PDFCreator from creating temporary files needed for the conversion.
Please navigate to this folder, view its properties and click on the security tab. Add SYSTEM and your user to the list of groups/users and give them full access to the folder.
Now go to C:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\temp\pdfcreator and C:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\temp\pdfcreator\spool and do the same. You might need to take the ownership for the folders first(security->advanced->owner).
