  • Hi,
    I am using PDF Creator for converting word documents into pdf. But I am calling PDF creator externally through one application. 
    While executing the operation I am getting PDF creator settings popup window and I am not able to complete the operation successfully.
    So, is there any way to solve this issue or Any way to disable the PDF creator settings popup window..

    Thanks,
    Rijas

Hi,


did you enable automatic saving and are you using the COM interface or the /PrintFile command line parameter?

Hi,


Thank you for the response.
 
The auto save which you specified is to save the pdf file right?

 But the application  which i am using is calling pdf creator internally and it converts the word doc to pdf and then upload into database. While doing the operation PDF creator settings popup window is coming and operation getting failed. So is there any way to solve this issue. 

Thanks ,
Rijas

Hi,


And one more thing.
For the previous versions of pdf creator like 1.7.3 and below I am not getting any errors.
but for the versions 2.0 and above i am getting this error.

Thanks,

Hi,


you should be able to get rid of this by setting up a path for automatic saving. This can be done programatically or by using the GUI (and changing the setting in the profile which is used from inside your app) If the files don’t need to be stored locally as they are uploaded later, you can simply use the users temp path.

Hi,


I have changed settings as you mentioned, But still I am facing the same issue.
The PDF file is not get generated at the location.

But for the previous versions like 1.7.3 and the pdf is getting generated.

So, for changing programatically do i need to change any other settings.?
Or Is there any other changes you have made (eg : any profile settings, etc ) for the newer versions from the previous versions??

Thanks,

Hi,


The application which I am using , first it will convert the word doc into .ps file(postscript file) and then this .ps file is converted into pdf format. This operation was successfully worked in previous version. 
Conversion of word doc into .ps file worked in newer version. but conversion from .ps into pdf is not happening.

So, I just want to know whether this conversion from .ps file to pdf is still available in newer version of pdfcreator???

Thanks,
Rijas

Hi,


direct conversion of .ps files is not supported in the currecnt version but will most likely be added back again with one of the next updates. !.7.3 is the last version which supported this.

Hi,

Could you please provide any other solution(other than using the older version of pdfcreator) for this issue that I can use till the next release of pdfcreator??
Because we cant change the .ps file creation during the process. So same .ps file has to be converted into pdf format.
If you could suggest any solution, that would be very much helpful for me.

Thanks,
Rijas

Hi,


well you can use Ghostscript for this, which comes with any version of PDFCreator.
You could for example use ““C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\Ghostscript\bin\gswin32.exe” @“C:\temp\gs test.txt”” and place all desired parameters into the txt file.

The content of the txt file could look something like this:

-dNOPAUSE
-dBATCH
-sColorConversionStrategy=RGB
-sFONTPATH=C:\Windows\Fonts
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dProcessColorModel=/DeviceRGB
-sOutputFile=C:\temp\out-x3.pdf
-dPDFSETTINGS=/default
-dEmbedAllFonts=true
-dFastWebView=true
-dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage
-dParseDSCComments=false
-dAutoFilterColorImages=true
-dAutoFilterGrayImages=true
-dEncodeColorImages=true
-dEncodeGrayImages=true
-dColorImageAutoFilterStrategy=/JPEG
-dGrayImageAutoFilterStrategy=/JPEG
-dColorImageFilter=/DCTEncode
-dGrayImageFilter=/DCTEncode
-dEncodeMonoImages=true
-dMonoImageFilter=/CCITTFaxEncode
-f
C:\temp\test.ps (path to your ps file)

best regards,
