We have just released PDFCreator 2.0.2 and PDFCreator Plus 2.0.2. This version fixes a few bugs that were found since the last release. Among the fixes, there were a few occasions when an exception was not caught and the application could crash. This did not cause any harm, but was annoying. Another problem was with detecting the default E-mail client. This is defined in several places and they are not documented properly. We did some analysis there and think that we have figured out now when to use Outlook and when the MAPI is preferred.

Today we are releasing our new project: HotFolder. The application watches a folder (or many of them) for printable files and automatically prints them on a PDFCreator printer you can configure. This adds even more automation to PDFCreator, as you only have to place files in a certain folder to have them converted to PDF or use the whole PDFCreator workflow, like sending out Mails, uploading the documents with FTP etc.

A few minutes ago, we have published PDFCreator 2.0.1, which fixes a few problems that were found after the release of PDFCreator 2.0. Among them was a problem that could result in empty profiles, when PDFCreator was loading the settings while another instance was closing. There was also a bug when trying to add printers with blanks in the name. Finally, we have also fixed a few minor bugs, two problems in the COM interface and clarified a few points in the manual.
We wish all of you a Merry Christmas!

Usually we try to publish PDFCreator and PDFCreator Plus on the same day, but this time we had a few problems. The good news are that there is now what we call offline activation. If there should be a problem and the PDFCreator Plus setup is not able to contact the license server, there is now the option to get an activation code via e-mail. Just start the Setup with the parameter /USEOFFLINELICENSE, enter your license key and you will see the request string. After sending it to us via e-mail, you will receive a response string which activates the installation.

It's getting late, but we finally finished PDFCreator 1.9.4, maybe the last beta release on the way to PDFCreator 2.0.
For the insiders: We have now completed the transition from the Windows Forms programming model to Windows Presentation Foundation and MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel). Together with that, we have fixed a few smaller problems along the route.

After two years with the new web site, we have again changed a lot. The old site was okay, but it was sometimes confusing (when to click on a menu, when to hover, ...) and technically not up to date anymore. The new web site not only is technically more modern and robust, it also looks nicer and also scales well on all kinds of devices. One of the big changes is that we have integrated the websites for PDFCreator and PDF Architect on the domain pdfforge.org. This makes the navigation more consistens and helps exploring both products.
