Error...
I just downloaded this the other night and it's giving me hassle over wanting to work; so far nothing I've tried has made PDFCreator work. The problem mainly is that when I hit for conversion (tested in the toolbar and in the actual program) it says "There was a problem printing. The printer could not be found."
I didn't know what was going on so I looked at the faq and it has related to having a printer driver installed, which I didn't because my lack of a printer. So i went forth to set up a dummy printer through the windows wizard but that always ended in an error for some reason so I installed doPDF knowing it mimics a printer driver. Still it didn't detect so I uninstalled PDFCreator and Toolbar, restarted, and proceeded to reinstall; nothing had changed though. I searched the forum here and nothing comes up so I just don't know. I tried enclosed a copy of the Setuplog to see if there's something here I'm missing, besides an actual printer though I don't see how that's really necessary, but the forum trimmed it and not exactly sure how to get it in here besides twenty messages.
Neato, here tis it, a little test of "code" makes it go, wish I knew that before, would have an answer. Running this on Media Center 2005 by the way, probably unneeded information.
Thanks.
