After I had installed an update PDFCreator no longer works. I get the following error message:
pdfforge.PDFCreator.App.App_OnStartup: No file in InfoDataFile argument or file does not exist.
How can i fix this.
I have reinstalled several times.
I adapted the rights from c:\Users\cad\AppData\Local\Temp\PdfCreator\Spool\
I hope someone can help!!
Hi,
Hi,
It started with that PDFCreator could not read files in C: \ Users \ cad \ AppData \ Local \ PDFCreator
I had put the directory from read only to completely open. Still the same error. In the printer box no message.
Yesterday I had a few ps files in the C: \ Users \ cad \ AppData \ Local \ PDFCreator dir.
I did install the PDFCreator-1_7_3_setup.exe, this version has worked, but no more
and also the version PDFCreator-2_0_1-setup.exe the same.
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue, here is the log:
2015-03-12 08:59:50.8914 [Info] pdfforge.PDFCreator.App.App_OnStartup: Launched PDFCreator with InfoDataFile parameter.
2015-03-12 08:59:50.9304 [Error] pdfforge.PDFCreator.App.App_OnStartup: No file in InfoDataFile argument or file does not exist.
2015-03-12 08:59:50.9304 [Debug] pdfforge.PDFCreator.App.App_OnStartup: Ending PDFCreator
Out of Debug section I can print test page of PDF Creator, but the above’s issue happens too for Windows test print page.
I dont have Adobe Reader installed. Instead I use SumatraPDF viewer.
What is really funny I cant install Adobe Reader (on an almost fresh Windows - I reinstalled it recently) - I get 2203 error no matter what. I hope Adobe Reader is not required by PDF Creator.
My version is 2.0.2.751.
I went to PDF Creator directory, found RepairFolderPermissions.exe and run it., but it didnt help.
I found this:
http://fossies.org/windows/misc/PDFCreator-2_0_2-source.zip/PDFCreator/App.xaml.cs
82 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(infFile))
83 {
84 if (File.Exists(infFile))
85 {
86 newJob = infFile;
87 Logger.Debug(“Added “” + infFile + “” as new Job.”);
88 }
89 else
90 {
91 Logger.Error(“No file in InfoDataFile argument or file does not exist.”);
92 return;
93 }
94 }
It would be helpful to have infFile in that message too (on the line 91).
Something like:
91 Logger.Error(“No file in “” + infFile + “” InfoDataFile argument or file does not exist.”);
Hmmm I think it has to do something with my new setup (users dir is on the D: drive, not C:) and access rights to TEMP dir. I applied following thing:<br><ol style="list-style-type: decimal"><li>Click <b>Start</b>, type <b>%temp%</b> in the <b>Start Search</b>box, and then press Enter to see the default temporary folder.</li><li>In the address bar (at the top of the window), click the folder to the left of Temp (it is named "Local" by default).</li><li>In the folder list, right-click the Temp folder, and then select <b>Properties</b>.</li><li>Click the <b>Security</b> tab, and then click <b>Edit</b>.</li><li>Click <b>Add</b>.</li><li>Type <b>Everyone</b>, and then click <b>Check Names</b>. "Everyone" should now be underlined.</li><li>Select <b>Full Control</b> under <b>Allow</b>, and then keep clicking<b>OK</b> to exit all windows.</li></ol>In my case I added rights to Guest and SYSTEM (I could not add Everyone).<br><br>It allowed me to install Adobe reader. After the closing the PDF Creator and process and some related "Hook" process it works perfectly.<br><br>I wonder why I need to set those rights on "my" temp folder to make it work, but I guess its my setup issue. Of course it would be nice if PDF Creator was a bit more informative in its debug messages :)<br><br>TBH I am not sure if those folder settings helped or the Adobe Reader install - for now I dont care.<br>
