Security problem

Post by marcocim »

The problem is that PDFConverter try to write registry key like the following :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Amyuni PDF Converter\PrinterDriverData]

but without the administrator rights.

Can i install PdfConverter configured with Current User key settings ?

Thanks

Hello,

If you are just printing to the PDF Printer, you shouldn't face any problem if you are a user.

As a user you will face a problem only installing the PDF Printer and this is not due to the PDF Printer itself, but to the fact that under Windows NT / 2000 / XP only administrators have the right to add a printer to the system.
If this is the situation you are facing you may easily install the printer on the system using Install.exe when or after installing your application and you can replace PDFDriverInit() by DriverInit() in your application so the printer will stay on the system and users will be able to run your application without any problems.

If the issue your are facing is not related to Installation, please download the latest update for version 2.09 from: http://www.amyuni.com/en/support/updates.html

Thanks.
