Printer stopped on PDF printing via Adobe Acrobat Reader and command line

PDFCreator PDFCreator English
1

Hallo,

I try to print a PDF file via the pdfcreator-API from a third program.

The Adobe Reader opens (and also stays open, but that’s a different
problem I’m aware of) and also the printing job is enqueued in the PDF
print monitor, but at the same time the printer is set to stop and the
status isn’t switched until I close the adobe reader manually.

I could live with the remaining adobe reader process, but it is really disturbing, that the job isn’t printed.

Is there some way to tell PDFcreator to automatically print the job without having to interfere manually?



Thanks in advance!

Hi,

which version of PDFCreator are you using?
Are you doing it all manually or with some script?

Hi,
yesterday I tried the version 1.4.3, today I updated to version 1.5, but the described behaviour didn’t change except for an additional problem.

With version 1.5, PDFCreator won’t accept the options for autosave anymore via COM-interface, if autosave is not enabled in the settings dialog of the program.
On the automated call PDFCreator opens the save dialog (with those five buttons) instead of directly saving the file.

PDFCreator is called by a self-written program by the COM-interface. It works well for .doc/.xls/.txt files, but not with PDF files.

It is called with the following settings:
    options := _PdfCreator:cOptions
    options:UseAutosave := 1
    options:UseAutosaveDirectory := 1
    options:RemoveAllKnownFileExtensions := 0
    options:AutosaveFormat := 0
    options:AutosaveDirectory :=
    options:AutosaveFilename :=

Hi,

could you please trying using a hard coded directory and filename once to check if the save dialog then still appears.

Which OS are you running?

regards,

Robin
