Whats The Point Of PDF Creator?
Hi all,
This may be contentious but what the heck.
I posted a request in the Help forum to try to find out a definitive, robust solution to the problem of PDFCreator hanging when cClose is executed ie one which does not rely on putting "wait" statements all over your code and hoping. I have tried everything I could think of but to no avail. There seem to be many instances of other people reporting the same issue from several versions ago but the problem still doesnt appear to be solved in the latest version (0.9.5).
If the product cant be used without hanging and there is no clear solution, whats the point of continuing distributing new versions without first fixing that?
If this cant be solved does anyone know of an alternative free solution which will work with VB macros?
Hi thesmilyface,
Appreciate the help. Sorry for chasing this in both PDFCreator forums.
I tried to put a both a loop with DoEvents and a simple wait for 10 and 30 seconds in the code just after the close.
Unfortunately the code never gets that far. After the code hangs, PDFCreator windows system tray icon disapears but the PDFCreator task is still running in the Task Manager list (100% processor load). When I kill the PDFCreator process VB will drop back into debig mode with the cClose line highlighted ie the code has hung on the cClose and not reached the sleep code or the clearing of the name variable.
Any clues?
