I have installed the PDF Creator Software. I go to print a document. I select the PDF printer in the print window. I click on the "Print" and I do not get the window asking where to save the file. I get the printer icon in the system tray for a second or two, and then it goes away. I have no idea where the created print file is located.
What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Same problem. I run in windows wista, I got the pdfcreator printer icon, when I try to create the pdf file I do not get the Save as windows and in the printer windows seems to be printing it.?????
I have the same problem, also in Vista and working with Word 2003. No menu "save as", it seems to be printing but no files to be found. I created a map for automic save and tryed to log the printing. The log report remains blank and there is no file in the map where it should by saved.
I tried re-install PDF creator and reboot. That did not fix the problem.
I too have had this problem occur on a semi-regular basis. Since version 0.9.8, maybe even 0.9.6, but at least since Sept, 2009. Reinstall from scratch seems to take care of it, and PDFCreator works, until a number of somethings happen, several of which are below.
One thing that I know that will cause it is if I have a change in my Office 2K3 setup (on XP Pro SP3) that causes an install dialog from the windows app (OL, WinWord, Excel, don't remember PP), especially one relating to a printer or Postscript device means I have the problem to crop up very soon now.
Overly aggressive registry cleaning also seems to indicate problems.
Also permissions on PDFCreator working subdirectories may cause problems
I generally keep my documentation printed from PDFCreator in a different place that the original document, and each app has its own document subtree. Moving the PDFCreator save director around a lot eventually causes problems, AFAIK.
