PDFCreator 4.1.0 COM Interface is missing/broken

Gianni1962Pc · June 30, 2020, 3:47pm

I'm using the COM interface from a Visual Foxpro program and with the latest PDFCreator version 4.1.0 has stopped working.
The PDFCreator.PDFCreatorObj and PDFCreator.JobQueue objects are no more instantiable.

Yes, I also noticed and needed to downgrade to 4.0.4 version. I'm waiting for news.

Same using COM from c++

Bei mir funktioniert es auch nicht.

Benutze VBA unter Excel.
In der alten Version ist alles OK.

Seems to be broken in 4.1.0 for me, too. Running the supplied COM_TestForm, I'm getting the following exception on the Activator.CreateInstance(queueType) call:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Security.AccessControl, Version=4.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Visual Studio 2017, .NET 4 revision 461814

thanks,
bruce

p.s. And it works fine in 4.0.4...

We're experiencing the same problem using the com interface via .net. A fix would be extremely helpful!

No news from PDFForge ?

I have the same issue using the com interface with MS Access VBA and PDFCreator v4.1.0 Build 13336.
With PDFCreator v4.0.2 Build 10752 things work correctly!

When is PDFForge providing a fix?

4.1.1 also does not work

seems that it needs System.Security.AccessControl, Version=4.1.1.0 (that's the exception) but System.Security.AccessControl.dll in installation folder is 4.1.3.0

templeton_nash · July 29, 2020, 12:57pm

Yes, still not working in 4.1.1

H.Woelfel · July 29, 2020, 1:43pm

New PDFCreator Version - same problem!
VBA macros do not work with the new version (4.1.1) either.

Therefore:
If you need the COM interface, do not install Vers. 4.1.1!

Hello everybody,

The issue has been fixed with version 4.1.2. We are very (!) sorry for the trouble:

The blog post will be released soon.

Kind regards

My code work with the version 4.1.2. Thanks for the fixe

H.Woelfel · July 31, 2020, 11:31am

With version 4.1.2 the VBA macros work for me again.
Many thanks to the team.

Who needs the COM interface:
--> install Vers. 4.1.2 or stay with 4.0.4.
