I just installed 0.9.9, and createa a text-file

When printing this via PDFcreator, i got a PDF with unreadablie characters... They look like squares, and not like the text i did enter in my textfile...

Printing from MS-Word seems to work OK.

any idea's

 JSkywalker tried this on a WinXP-SP3 machine.....

No problems here. Which editor use you? Which font? Which chars?

sorry for the late reply

i'm printing from Notepad, in which i choose "Lucida Console" as my font.

No problems here. Please uninstall PDFCreator. Download it again from here.(!) Install it and test it again.

OK, i removed PDFcreator,

rebooted,

downloaded (from here) and reinstalled...

problem remains (printing from Notepad gives unreadable PDF)

i uploaded some to a website

see: http://bow.podzone.org/pdf

P.S "Kladblok" is Dutch for "Notepad"...

  • "test.txt"  --> The 'original' text
  • "test.txt - Kladblok.pdf"  --> printed from Explorer, right mouseclick, Print
  • "test.txt - Kladblok2.pdf"  --> printed from Notepad, File/Print

reinstalling is not solving the problem.....

Changing setting to create a PDF-format 1.2 (the olders one) seems to solve this problem.

BTW Is the a buglist available for PDFcreator? i mean a list where al confirmed bugs are listed, and the status of these bugs...

How can i compile PDFcreator meself? i see its written in Basic, which is not the hardest language of all ;-)
