Unable to create any PDFs after update to 1.7.2

I am unable to create any PDFs since upgrading to 1.7.2. All has been well prior to this upgrade. I have uninstalled 1.7.2 and reinstalled 1.7.1 and still unable to create PDFs. Again, uninstalled 1.7.1 and reinstalled 1.7.2 for same issue. Decided to uninstall 1.7.2, again, and remove all context (folder, files etc) to PDFcreator from system. Noted that unable to remove any files from “Spool” folder as file " access is denied". Removed all context using some file utilities and reinstalled 1.7.2. Still unable to create PDFs. Attempted to “Print Test Page” from Monitor Options and receive error  (see below). Any comment to help rectify this issue would be most welcome.

Regards,
Denis Green

Hi,

if access is denied to the spool folder, please change the permissions of it so that the user running PDFCreator and your local system account have full read/write access.
Afterwards the PDFCreator should work again.
