Bug Bounty: 150 $ for solution PDFCreator on Windows Vista
Submitted by philip on Wed, 2007-09-12 14:16.
Hello,
as you all know, PDFCreator currently does not work properly under Windows Vista. The upcoming Version 0.9.5 will have basic Vista support, but the main problem has not been solved.
The problem is, that Vista has a strict security system, that does not allow the way PDFSpooler.exe tries to start PDFCreator under the context of a user.
Is there someone who has already done this under windows Vista?
We have the possibility to do this in C (not C# oder C++) oder in Visual Basic 6.
Any help, hints oder experience is appreciated here, as we have spent several days on this issue without a result.
We are offering a bounty of 150$ for the first one who can solve this.
regards,
Philip
I am having the same problems. I checked the log after an error occured and it stated problems with "redmonnt.dll". Windows then reported a spooler problem. And in the ptrinter record it showed that it was holding the document because there was no paper. No duh, Computer!!
I hope these hints might help but they are probably already known.
One hint from another user to set "run as user" didn't have any effect for me.
one other thing I noticed was that the printer in the background was "microsoft XPs print writer" normally I have my HP720c series here. I would like to know how to change this!! the field is only grayed and I can't get it back to black, in order to change this.
The problem started tuesday. Monday I printed a pdf with a password. since then I can't even get a .txt file to print correctly as a pdf.
good luck at bug hunting!!
