We are testing Amyuni PDF Converter 2.51 (Demo)
Installation went fine, no errors!
When using 64-bit applications (Internet Explorer 64-bit) printing pdf’s works fine on Windows 2003 x64 on AMD x64 hardware.
When using 32-bit applications (Internet Explorer 32-bit) printing pdf’s doesn’t work on Windows 2003 x64 on AMD x64 hardware.
· Pdf-file is created but unreadable (size = 0 kb).
· Printer Amyuni PDF Converter shows ERROR – PRINTING.
· Pdf-file can’t be deleted.
· Pdf-file can be deleted after ending process splwow64.exe

Windows 2003 AMD 64-bit can't print from 32-bit applications
Problem solved
Just received an e-mail from Amyuni support, changed port from lpt1 to com1 and everything works fine
I have a similar problem. My 32-bit application, run on a 64-bit OS, initializes the PDF Converter using PDFDriverInit which will install the driver on port pt1 (and that will not work).
I can hard code the port to COM1 but that seems to be something that should be done by the PDFDriverInit method itself, when e.g. installed with an additional parameter like “AppVersion=32†meaning that the "calling" application is a 32-bit application.
Example:
PDFDriverInit(“My PDF Printer;AppVersion=32â€)
Anyway…how do I check what COM ports are available and free so I can use the first available one together with my PDF initialization?
