Uninstall PDFCreator with all settings, reboot and install it again. It should works. Tested here successfully.

Dear Frank

I am very sory, but you are wrong!

PDF creator ISNT working under windows7! - And the problem is not the INSTALLATION, but the actual pdf printing process - since the program isnt doing anything at all! - it isnt even working with the newer version of ghost script, so it is definitively a problem of the program.

Btw: I WAS a user of pdf creator, but since its absolutely useless, I changed to "FreePDF" - and this one is working absolutely properly on any OS (of Microsoft) I have used the last few years.
And it's free too.

Hello,

please let me ask two questions: Have you updated from Vista to windows 7? And if so, have you tried reinstalling PDFCreator?

As written in the FAQ, Windows 7 rebuilds the permissions in a way that breaks PDFCreator (and also FreePDF and all others I know that work this way). Reinstalling does work here. I had the same after upgrading and I am successfully running PDFCreator on W7 now.

So it cannot be that PDFCreator is not working in general on Windows 7.

kind regards,
Philip

Hello,

I have the same problem after upgrading from vista to 7.

(and also after re-installing PDFCreator)

When selecting print to PDFCreator (from Quarkexpress) nothing happens.

On occasions, after some changes in settings the creator suddenly turns up with all the previous vain attempts, and does them all properly.

So the print commands have been stuck somewhere in the spooler.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

the printer driver stores the Data in the PDFCreator Temp folder and then calls PDFCreator. So no print jobs are lost, but you will have to call PDFCreator manually.

Which version did you install? (Just to make sure it is the latest)

Did you reboot between uninstalling and reinstalling?

kind regards,
Philip

Thanks Pillip,

It works now.

had re-installed without reboot between uninstalling and reinstalling.

great to hear! It sometimes happens, that the printer system is not cleanly shut. this isn't a problem normally, but if we are replacing a driver, this can cause trouble, so a reboot is the safest way.

kind regards,
Philip

I' ve been running into the same problem.

I've both a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate and of PDFCreator.

When I try to print something, nothing happens. The same holds, if I try to start PDFCreator.exe directly from filesystem.(both with user's or administrator's rights).

Edit: I made another try:

Uninstall/reboot/install/reboot works fine, until ...

I'd try to print a Webpage from IE

In that case I get an error message:

Error Nummer 481

Module modMain

Procedure: StartProgram

Line 51720

After that PDF Creator cannot be startet.

hello!

I am having the same problem as Michael.  I have a fresh installed W7 Enterprise and fresh install of PDFCreator.  It got the 481 error when I try to print web page that contain graphics.  I tried remove the PDFCreator, reboot and reinstall and the problem is same.  I attach the error log that generated by the PDfCreator in this email for reference.
