Subject: BatchPDF and Remote Desktop Problem
Date Posted: 07 May 11 at 9:42AM
I use BatchPDF with Excel VBA (2003 & 2010), under Windows (XP & 7).
 
It works fine, until I access my computer using a remote desktop connection, at which point it gives me an error message that states that "PDF file can't be created" as soon as I log in?

Hi,

   I use Remote Desktop Connection as well, and have not had that problem. Hopefully this means that we will be able to find a solution to the problem.

   You get this error as soon as you login? Is that whether PDF reDirect is running or not?

   One thing you can do is to send me an error log, as follows:

  1. Start PDF reDirect (manually, or through the "Print" command)
  2. Click on the green "Preferences" button
  3. Select "Generate Log Files"
  4. Click "OK" to save your settings
  5. Click on "Exit" to quit out of PDF reDirect
  6. Now login using Remote Desktop Connection. (Click on "OK" if the error occurs again).
  7. Click on the green "Preferences" button
  8. Click on the "View Log File" button
  9. Copy and paste the error log in an e-mail back to me.
  10. You can turn the error logging back OFF.

    Hopefully I can make some sense of what is going on by looking at the log.

    Cheers!

Hi Michel,
 
Here's the log you asked for, below.
 
I just realized that what pops up immediately as I log in (and without PDFRedirect running, that I know of) is PDFRedirect "basic", not the "Pro" version, whether that means anything or not.
 
If I keep my remote desktop connection open for a while (which I do on Saturdays to monitor what's going on at work when the guys are working in the shop), then that error message pops up again periodically.
 
In the mean time, thank you for your speedy response and kudos for a great product!

Hi Gilles,

   Thanks for the kudos. Smile

   Looking a the log, there is nothing unusual except for a DLL Error #2 (file not found) - which might be what is generating the error message.

   Please do nothing for now and use PDF reDirect as you normally would, until you get this error message popup again a couple of times (make sure that the error logging is still turned on inside the Preferences).

   When you feel confident that at least two error messages have posted, and been recorded, then please write back with the updated log (or if too large, then e-mail to exp -at- exp-systems -dot- com).

   I want to confirm that this DLL Error is indeed the cause. I have seen it before in one other person's log, but he did not have any error messages. I want to confirm that this is "it" for you. If so, I will send you a special version of the program that will record with more detail what is going on with this error, to try to zero in on where the problem is occuring.

   Thanks!

Michel

I sent that new log file via e-mail as you requested.
 
Please let me know what you find out.
