PrinterStop is locked on by default?

I have a really simple VB .NET application similar to the COM samples that is supposed to generate a PDF document and auto save it to a particular location.  When I run the app, it runs to completion but never triggers the PDFCreator eReady event.  It just opens PDFCreator and shows the dialog.  When it does this, the Printer Stop is checked by default and if I uncheck it (or hit F2) the file prints and saves correctly.  Is there any way to shut that Printer Stop setting off completely?

Hi,

 

could you post your code, then we can take a look at what could be causing this.

 

regards,

Well, yes...but it's just the sample .NET code modified to use the autosave feature.  It will occasionally work, but most of the time it functions as I described first time around.
