Version 1.70 producing 3 kb empty files

PDFCreator PDFCreator English
1

I have seen several threads with related questions, but have not yet found the solution.

I am trying to use 2 different profiles to save PDF documents to a location with different names. When I print from Notepad (as a test) to one of these printers (profiles), it prints with the correct name and to the correct locaton, but is empty (3 kb in size). However, if I print with the PDFCreator printer (default profile), it prints correctly and has data.

This is what I have tried so far… [1] upgrade to 1.70, [2] Took underscores out of my save names, [3] Changed to various PDF formats, [4] Tried both Save and AutoSave.

Here is the log file from my last attempt.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!  I found that the pseudo printers I set-up which were associated with my profiles had an HP driver instead of the PDFCreator driver.  Once I fixed this, they printed great!
