pdfSaver (tm) technology

Post by Podhorny »

Hallo,

I want try pdfSaver (tm) technology in Drivers4.
Yesterday I install new version (Clean installation, Registry manually deleted) on WinXP Pro SP2.
Can't get it work, did as described in Help. Can't find window for Jobs.
When pdfSaver.exe started clicking in Explorer, I can see running process in Task manager for about a minute, then unloaded.
What I am doing wrong
Please help

Thanks, Jiri

Hi Jiri,

when used from the option Start -> Programs -> PDF-XChange .....

It starts just fine here - maybe you need to reset the 'AutoUnload' to a longer timeout ?

If this does not help - please advise specifically what Windows OS you are using.

P.S.

If you just run it from explorer. PDFSaver is invisible.
you need to run fromt he shortcut described or from explorer with the command line parameter /Show
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

Thanks for answer, now I am able to start it but still have problems.

Maybe I wrongly understand functionality (as described in help):

I think it should work this way (example):
1. Open Word > print > new Job in pdfSaver
2. Open Excel > print > new Job in pdfSaver
3. Join documents from both Jobs to one
4. Save Job for future use
5. Generate PDF

But when I start print from word, Job shortly appears in Job window and is immediately converted to PDF
If I start print same document again, then dialog window 'Chosen file ...' appears.
At this time I can see task in Job window but after selecting Overwrit or Append Job disappear an conversion is made to PDF.

I did create some profiles for testing, please see attached extract from Windows Registry.

System WinXP Pro SP2 Cz

Thanks, Jiri

Thanks,
it is not so urgent, I am translating help files to Czech language, so just trying all what is described there :wink:

BTW: in 'Profiles' comment text for profile is not stored/displayed.

Best Regards
Jiri
