That's just how ticked off I am at being hoodwinked by your software.</p> <p>Huh? You cannot, may not, ought not be permitted to call your product a PDF printer, when the resulting PDF depends on the fonts to be resident on the computer. The whole point of using PDF's is to get away from the fonts story. I just sent two PDF to the printer and had hundreds of copy's made only to discover when I picked them up that my "fancy" fonts had been substituted with "normal" ones. Will you pay for the €63 in printing cost that I just lost out on?</p> <p>DoPDF does not do what a PDF printer is supposed to do, and what other PDF printers routinely do. Why in the world not? Your product should be removed from the market immediately, or at the very least you need to put a large disclaimer on your site and in the program, that explains to the unsuspecting user that the program does not work properly. </p> <p>I noticed on the forum that folks have been asking for this idiotic problem to be corrected for a while now. The only thing I read in response is: "next release" and "not yet". This is completely unacceptable. Put me on a list of users who need to be notified when you fix your program so it works as it should. In the mean time I cannot use your program. If no fix is forthcoming, we need to flood forums and user groups worldwide with warnings against using your program. </p> <p>David Boyd </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/installation-silent#post-475 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:50:06 +0000 Meitzi 475@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Is there way install doPDF without any user input?<br /> (you don't want run hudnred of computers) </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/dopdf-junk-output-in-vista-x64-with-sp1#post-474 Thu, 25 Dec 2008 10:52:33 +0000 InfiniteX 474@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>update... everything went back to normal after setting my non-unicode support from chinese RPC to English~ hope to see this bug is fixed in next version </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/since-downloading-file-my-laptop-will-not-print-anything#post-473 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 19:37:48 +0000 capy12 473@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I found a way to fix the problem if you are using Vista, like I was. Apparently, because I am using an older printer, there indeed was a compatibility issue with Vista and <strong>it had nothing to do with doPDF</strong>. Here's the solution that worked for me:</p> <p>Installing a Network Printer in Vista:</p> <p>1) Hard wire the printer to the Vista "client" PC or laptop, as though it were to be used with that computer, and install it. This ensures that it has all the necessary software/drivers on board. (This step is important for this fix to work)</p> <p>2) Reconnect it to the "host" PC and, in its Properties, set it as "shared". Make a note of both the host PC's "Computer Name" and the printer's "Share Name".</p> <p>3) In the Vista "client" PC, launch the "Add a Printer" wizard and select the "Add a local printer" option. This automatically opens a new dialog box in which to select the Port.</p> <p>4) Click the "Create a new port" radio button and leave the drop-down menu options on the default of "Local Port". Click Next.</p> <p>5) A small box opens in which to enter the Port Name. Type in the path to the "shared" printer in the host PC using the format \\computername\sharename where computername and sharename are the details you noted in (2) above.</p> <p>6) Select the Printer driver from the list provided, which should include the driver you originally installed, otherwise use the "Have Disk" button to install the correct Vista driver if it is not in the list. It is essential that a Vista-compatible driver for your printer is used. Click Next. If you get a dialog box that tells you "Windows detected that a driver is already installed for this printer", click "Replace the current driver"</p> <p>7) Give the printer a name and choose whether to set it as the default. Click Next.</p> <p>8) Print a test page to verify functionality and then click Finish. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/since-downloading-file-my-laptop-will-not-print-anything#post-472 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 18:32:05 +0000 capy12 472@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I am having this same problem except that my print spooler service is running (I even restarted the service with no change). I recently purchased a new computer and I used doPDF on my old Windows XP system without any problems so I decided to install it on my new one. My new system uses Vista, so I wonder if there's a compatibility issue. I print over a network with no success after installing doPDF. Also, I do not get any error messages, I print, it sends, but nothing comes out of the printer. Any suggestions would be welcome. In the mean time, I will uninstall doPDF and see what happens. Thanks. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/dopdf-junk-output-in-vista-x64-with-sp1#post-471 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 08:46:30 +0000 InfiniteX 471@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>doPDF 6.1 build 821 fail to print any document and output in JUNK!

In my MS Word file I have my author name set to my name, when the pdf file opens it is using my user profile name "sunshine"... I have changed my profile name to my name, checked the MS Word Doc and the author name was correct, restarted the pc with the new user profile name and still I get the same result - the wrong author name appears in the PDF document file. I only have the reader - therefore I can't change the information from inside Acrobat. Why does it keep resetting the Author name and how do I fix this?<br /> Thanks Laura </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/where-has-my-pdf-gone#post-465 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:43:25 +0000 Softland 465@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I'm sorry but I don't really understand what happened.
