Maybe not helpful, but I gave up on PDFCreator long ago because of inconsistencies like this.
We moved to Win2PDF and life is much more sane. It works right out of the box and was easy to implement. True, it’s not free, but in 6 years I’ve only had to contact their tech support people 2 times and they fixed my problem quickly and easily. The $30 (or $35) that it costs is extremely cheap next to the amount of time spent trying to figure out what the heck PDFCreator is doing, especially the intermittent nature of what you’re seeing. Also, you could upgrade to Windows 10 which has a built-in option that seems be working well. Having been where you are, I just wouldn’t spend time trying to fight PDFCreator.
