Sure Fabrizio I removed the new thread.

For Raimon, if gdiplus didn't help. please make sure you only have the latest version of cdintf on your system, maybe it is confliccting with an older cdintf version 3.0 .

Joan, Trying again and looks like was "gdiplus" thing!

Many thanks to Fabricio too! :)

A question for Amyuni support, where to ask for an updated 3.02 installation files when released?

Thanks again.

Hello,

This has been fixed for 9x and any other OS that does not have SetPrinterDataEx exported from winspool.drv, in this case Windows NT.
This function is no longer called directly from CDIntf. It is loaded dynamically only if it exists.

It seems there is an old version of CDIntf loaded on your system. Please make sure that your application is loading the latest version of CDIntf and if older CDIntfs are not needed by other applications please remove them from your system.

As far as I can see, the acfpdf.drv file shipped with Amyuni PDF Converter 3.0.3 is still version is 2.5.1.4...
I've noticed that because, from a Win98 test system, I got a PDF which did not validate as a PDF/A... and inside the PDF advanced properties I found: "PDF Producer: Amyuni PDF Converter version 2.51-d Build 2"
Is there a workaround or should we simply say "ok - PDF/A printing will not be supported on Win9x/ME systems"?
It's not a rethorical question, I just want to know how to deal with it, since the docs say the driver works on Win98..
Thank you in advance!

lp,

This issue was TOTALLY solved in 3.02 release, at least I'm working with it in W98 systems since then... perhaps u have an old "CDIntf.dll"?

Hope it helps...

Thanks for the hint, raimon,

for a moment I hoped I was wrong, so I double checked it, installing the original 3.0.3 package on a clean Win98 virtual machine... and what i get is an "acfpdf.drv" file still having the "2.51-d Build 2" version, while cdintf.dll has "3.03" :?
Well.. somehow strange... Wonder what's wrong :P
I'll try to download again the package, but let me ask you a question: have you received a patch for that file or was it inside the main package?

Thank you for your attention, have a nice day!

PS: I'm currently using the "developer" driver, not the end-user one..

Hello
For completeness I've also tried downloading the "demo" version of the "PDF Converter PRO" package (see here), the one which is currently online on the site...

I installed it on a clean w98 virtual machine and still see the same "2.51-d Build 2" version for the acfpdf.drv file, while everything else seem to be 3.03 :?

i'm lacking ideas at this point.. :|

I guess my point is not clear, so I'll try to clarify...
What I say is that:
  • I'm able to print under windows 98 using the shipped 3.0.3 package, I don't get errors.
  • I don't get all the features that the 3.0.3 driver delivers, since the printer driver which gets loaded under win98 is the "2.51-d Build 2" one.
  • In particular I'm not able to create PDF/A files since it only fully works on the 3.0.3 release (and it works on win2000 and newer operating systems, where it correctly loads the 3.0.3 printer driver..)
That's not a problem, generally speaking.. But I should know how to handle this.
  • If it is a "mistake" (for instance, the 3.0.3 driver for win98 didn't get into the package) I can say my application handles a certain set of features on Win98 (because they rely on being able to create PDF/A files).
  • On the contrary, I will have to state that my application doesn't support those features on the win98 platform..
Thank you, have a nice day!

Hello,

PDF/A is not supported in the PDF Creator and PDF Converter for Win98.

It is normal to have the printer driver version 2.51-d, this was not updated for Windows 98.
