No Longer Saving to Network Share

PDFCreator PDFCreator English
1

I’ve recently updated to the latest version 2.1.2 which seems to have broken the ability to save to a network share.


My current Auto-Save directory is “\\server\$\Desktop” which was working just fine.  A user on my domain would print to the PDF Creator print queue and the pdf file would show up on their desktop.  Now, when a user saves, a dialog box pops up indicating the job has successfully printed but nothing appears on their desktop.

Am I missing a new setting that needs to be configured for this to work?  I’ve noticed that there is a new “PDFCreator Server” option now.  Do I need this version instead?

Thank you for any assistance or information you may have.

Edit: Forgot to mention this is on Windows Server 2008 R2 and clients are Windows 7 Pro x64.

Hi,


my guess is you have updated from a version of PDFCreator which still had the “server mode” as an installation option. This has been removed after version 1.7.3, because we decided a separate service would be a better and cleaner solution than forcing a desktop application into server mode.
You will either need the new PDFCreator server (http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator-server) or revert to 1.7.3, which is still free to use but no longer supported.

best regards,
