Hi,

   Sorry to hear of the problem. Are you using a Windows Account that has the needed permission to install a printer?

   If the problem persists, then you can go into the [Preferences], click the "General" button, then select "Generate Log Files". Then, try to create a new batch printer. After it fails, go back to the "General" area and click on the "Submit Bug Report" button to send me the log files. I can take a look and see what kind of error you got.

   Regards,

Michel

Hi Michel,

the Windows Account to install a printer should be ok. The Installation of PDF reDirect was without errors.

Here the contents of the Logfile:

Hi,

   Thanks for the log file. I will take a look here and see if I can duplicate the problem. Here is my log for reference: it seems like I was able to generate the batch settings files, and you were not, for whatever reason. Can you confirm that there are no "unicode" characters in the Batch Printer's name: that is, you are not using Japanese, Chinese or Cyrillic characters?

Hi,

   The Windows Logo will appear if your Windows security setting are tight are require that you be presented with the warnings. This securiyt setting is more strict than the default setting.

   Glad to hear that it is working OK now.

Hi,

   You can change it manually, via the batch printer settings in the "Preferences" area. You need v2.1.0 or higher.

   If you want to do it programatically via VBA, look at the sample code in the VB Class: you can see how the settings are changed as a simple text file. The PDF settings are in a long string as follows:

   UserAppData.Settings = "-P0-Q2-C0-R0-L0-E0-B0-S0-H0"

  1. PDF Engine: GNU GS (=0), AFPL GS (=1), DISTILLER (=2). Default: "-P0"
  2. Quality: Very High (=0), High (=1), Good (=2), Poor (=3). Default: "-Q2"
  3. Colour: RGB (=0) or CMYK (=1). Default: "-C0"
  4. Rotate: Auto (=0) or Force Rotate Right (=1). Default: "-R0"
  5. Lock PDF File: None (=0), No Print/No Cut'n'Paste/No Save (=1). Default: "-L0"
  6. NOT USED: "-E0"
  7. emBedallFonts: No = 0 (default) Yes = 1 (including standard fonts)
  8. noSubset: No = 0 (default = subset) Yes = 1 (ie include the entire font = no subset)
  9. addHyperlinks: No = 0 Yes = 1 (default) (including standard fonts)


   So, simply create a new routine to change the quality settings. I hope that helps.
