I can't seem to make it work. I have tried a million times with different setups. Right now, I am using a normal installation (not server).

I started with a server installation but it only printed locally. Never showed any errors at the log file (of course loging funciton is set to on).

I have installed a normal setup and shared the printer. It never prints anything from the LAN, it does show the doc, though.

It never copies it to my shared folder (\\production\pdfs).

Things I've tried :

• I have checked the folder permissions and granted all permissions to everyone (so everyone can
  write).
  
  
• I noticed that the temp folder didn't exist. I created one at the “All users” directory and set the path to
  it.
  
  
• I have shared all my printers. Office documents do print (Microsoft Office Document Image Writer)
  on the same folder.
  
  
• I have tried sending a standard “Print Test Page”, from the printer window properties. It works
  locally... not over the network.

At first. It works (at our enterprise) for hundred of users. So something is wrong with your installations or your server or etc..

If do you want create share for other users you need:

1.) Read the help file 'Using PDFCreator'\'Installation Types' -> 'Server Installation'

2.) Check this:
Is PDFCreator running?
Is PDFCreator running with a Domain-Admin account?
Is auto-save activated?
Is the auto-save path correct?
