kind regards,

Thanks for all the hard work on a new release.

I did not see the Yahoo toolbar install options.... nore the bar itself.  Did it get removed?  I am not complaining just checking.

 

The Excel total page numbering bug I have posted about before and others have seen is still there. 

The magin's bug may be still there but hard to tell at first glance.

Not sure but the bug about not printing all part of some web pages may be fixed.  I would like others that also saw that issue to check.

Keep up the good work and hopefully you all can get the other issues fixed.

Please respond to the Excel issues even if you all can't fix them at this time.

 

thanks

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. 

You didn't answer the first question, does the new version still have malware included or not?

Hello...

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.

Thanks,

...Karl

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?

Hello Philip,

why must the old version uninstalled before a new version can be installed?

Will version 1.0 released also as MSI?

Bye

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.

Good luck, whatever choice you make.

This is correct. PDFCreator is a 32bit application but works perfect on 64bit system.

Hello,

Sorry, I get an error 481 under Windows 7 64 bit.
Any test printing ends with an error 481.

An Idea ?

Thanks,
Kind Regards,

Fabulon

 

On 64-bit Win7, still goes to "wrong/old" C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PDFCreator.

Maybe the installer is 32-bit?

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.

Thanks for the hard work!

Ver. 1.00 has the same problem as seen in 0.98 and 0.99. 

After a few prints, it stops to catch the printing, and printjobs just disappears into nothing.

Usually I can get it to work by having the pdfcreator-program running in a window in the background or minimized, but not allways.

(Maybe this problematic behavior started, when I switched to Chrome as my internet-browser, but I am not sure).

Please download version 1.0 again. I have fixed this in the last days.

Hello Frank

Sorry, I still get an error 481.

Hello,

FYI ... In addition, if I try to configure PDFCreator Redirected Port, I get an error 0x00000001

Hello,
I found :
 

1) If PDFCreator print monitor is running, then PDFCreator works correctly.
 

2) If PDFCreator print monitor is not running, then PDFCreator produces an error 481.
 

3) When I get an error 481, to workaround the problem, I must first close the error window and next run PDFCreator print monitor.
 

Hope this help

>Sorry, I still get an error 481.

If you print with chrome or IE or notepad?

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.

Sorry : English is difficult for me.

 

It is possible to do a remote session (Teamviewer)? Please which file version has the file PDFSpool.exe in PDFCreator application path?
