We are about to release PDFCreator 1.0 after nearly 8 years of development. To make the release as safe as possible, we would like you to test it and report any bugs you may encounter.
The output size going to the hardware printer is still huge, can anything be done about that?
Also, there is a margins issue when printing to the hardware printer, the output is cut off on the sides.
Both of these issues have been discussed on the forums already and advised during the new release they will be corrected. Please let me know if you require further details.
It is not malware! There is a search bar tool and some search changes as two distinct choices. They default to on, but can be unchecked; they must be unchecked in both places. It just requires reading everything during the install.
Neither of these are to my tase, but defaulting them to install profides funds to support PDFCreator development, so I would not complain.
How about we'll just call it "shit that you don't want on your computer that you have to be tricked into installing"? No one actually wants the search bar installed. Do a search for it, and you'll only find links here, links to the toolbar company, and 13,000 links from people trying to remove it.
So, back to the question. Is it still there, or is it gone?
There are other free choices available to you for this functionality, so if it really bothers you so much, you can try a different one. I still think this is the best choice available.
By now, I would guess that you know how to uncheck the options that you dislike. So I think you can cope with it if it is still included in 1.0.
The "PDFCreator" printer has a comment of "edoc printer". Suggestion/recommendation to change that to www.pdfforge.org as a google on pdfcreator gives so many false hits and commercial versions.
Yes, If I try to print directrly with Notepad or IE this works correctrly, but the PDFCreator print monitor' buffer files should be empty first.
Remember, If I try to print a document using Word 2007 and "PDFCreator monitor" is not running in background, the PDFCreator task fail with an error 481.
