Background
I have installed PDFCreator 1.6.2 on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server.
I do not think Architect is installed, partly because I am not sure what it does.
I simply want to be able to print PDFs and AutoSave them.
Problem
When
I print a document I will often get an empty file, 3k in size.
Sometimes when I print a file, PDFCreator seems to cretae several blank
files before creating the actual document.
What I have tried / checked already
1. Someone suggested changing the print processor from RAW to TEXT. This seemed to make the situation worse.
2. Another posting suggested, the problem might be setting the save format type to PDF1A/b. My settings are PDF.
I think it might be something to do with locked files.

Any Suggestions?
Hi,
is P: a network drive?
PDF Creator can only spool to a local drive.
