PDF Printer Diver

Post by Susan_R._(Guest) » Tue Jan 25, 2005 3:12 pm

I ran Install.exe which installed PDF Compatible Printer Driver. When I run my program, which uses a text file as the control file, I have tried setting RI_WPTR=PDF Compatible Printer Driver and RI_WPTR=R&R PDF Export. In both instances, I can see R&R PDF Export popping into my Printer list and disappearing. I have an RRW.ini file in the WINNT directory of my Windows2000 pc that has PDFDRIVER=0 under the defaults section. With it set to R&R PDF Export, I get multiple errors popping up that say ^Cannot match printer or port in control file^ and ^Printer initialization error (check available memory)^, and ^Error retrieving printer information^. Most of the PDFs get generated correctly anyway, but it^s pretty slow (about 15/minute for PDFs that are 68 KB). I tried to right-click on the PDF Compatible Printer Driver in my list but it says ^Unable to display security information^ even if I log in as Administrator. Should I be able to see R&R PDF Export in my list? How do I keep it from popping in and out?____Thanks,__Susan R.__

Kathleen,____Your hint that the PDFDRIVER=0 in RRW.ini was not added until 10.0 was correct. I upgraded to 10.0 runtime files and the PDF Export printer no longer disappeared.____Thanks,____Susan
