Vista 64 PDF creation

[TDWiseley]

Trying to get an application that ran on Vista 32 to run on Vista 64 (AMD). Downloaded and installed the latest files (3.0.3.0 and 4.0.0., and reviewed current information from previous posts, including NUL: ports, etc.. Everything works fine until the Print command, and then the application hangs w/ no error messages or exceptions, and neither the PrintPage nor QueryPageSettings events are ever reached. Is there a document or test plan that contains all the switches, gotchas, etc. that need to be addressed?

I've got the exact same problem as you, only on Windows 7 64-bit.
It only works if I run our application as administrator and close Outlook (we generate pdf and sends it using sendmail).

Have you solved this problem yet?
If so, I'm very happy if you have some pointers for me on how to fix this.

We've found that by creating a dummy port for each instantied printer, it works like a charm.

Ok.
I notice that the printer is set up to use the NUL: port.
But you've created another port instead?
Which settings do you use?

1. Open printer properties for the created Amyuni Printer
2. Click on Ports tab
3. Click on Add Port...
4. In Printer Ports dialog, click on New Port...
5. Enter 'PDF1' (or any text), click OK
6. Repeat for each Amy printer, using a different 'port name'
