Problems with word-files than increasing in size with Conv

Post by d97kja »

We have a problem with word-files that contains images. The files tend to be giant, sometimes 4 times bigger than the original when we print them with PDF Converter.

The strange thing is that the PDF Converter works just great when you have administrator privileges on the machine were the Converter is installed. Our users how ever have only user privileges.

We have the developer license and a dll that runs MS Word with do _ShellExec. We have set the JPG compression. The installation of PDF Conv is done when the application is installed.

According to the documentation the cdintf.dll stores some information in the registry. My guess is that when a regular user runs our dll the cdintf.dll writes some information like JPG compression to the registry somewhere. The question is where? (We can open up some keys in the registry for the regular user the thing is which keys...)

Or does anyone have another solution to a similar problem.

Hello,

You can check the following key in the registry to see if users have 'Write' permission:
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG --> SOFTWARE --> AMYUNI PDF PRINTER (or whatever printer name you gave to the printer).

But in general users should have rights to this key and should face problem calling Jpeg Compression or anyother printer configuration.
