Creating PDF from Print

PDFCreator PDFCreator English
1

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.

Thanks.

Hello,

take a look at the settings. Is "autosave" activated? If not, activate the log function, print again and look at then log. Maybe this helps.

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.

Any clues, how to fix this?

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.

Anyone have any ideas?
