We are encountering a confirmed issue where at least some of our versions of PDFCreator versions fail to print to PDF with Chrome version 80 (works on v79, upgrade to v80 then fails). So far version 1.7.3 does NOT seem to have this problem, but DOES happen on 3.3.2, 4.0.1 and 4.0.2.
The exact behavior of the failure varies where 3.x does nothing, and 4.0.x gives a message saying "PDFCreator was not able to convert...". So far I have only confirmed this behavior on
Any thoughts on possible workarounds or when a fix might be available?
We don't use Ghostscript, and we print websites so there is not file to download first. Having PDFCreator open while trying to print does not change the behavior, and this was tested using a domain administrator.
Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB/LTSC
.NET 4.7.2 on most systems
I don't have any crash logs for this specific issue.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I will happily provide any additional information that you might need.
I am having the same issue with multiple clients of mine on Chrome 80. I upgraded to latest version of PDFCreator and it prints to PDF from everything from test pages, to IE, to Adobe but not in Chrome. All systems are windows 10 latest updates applied.
If it helps any, I found that this problem also happens with PDFCreator Terminal Server edition 4.0.2. Version 1.7.3 also has the problem, but it has a different result. It creates the document, in our case a .tif file, where the first page has only some or no data, and page 2 has an error message.
