Subject: [DUG]: Delphi & Acrobat Distiller
> Hi all
>
> We are having a terrible time this week trying to get our acrobat
distiller
> and our Delphi 4 app working together
>
> The acrobat distiller acts as a printer for creating PDF files. The
> distiller printer points to a directory that the files are to be created
in.
>
> Our application, running on a NT workstation, changes its printer to the
> acrobat distiller printer and creates a PDF file which is then attached to
> an email to sent to customer. This has been working fine until the
beginning
> of this week which now has the app creating the file with 0 length and not
> creating the rest of the PDF document. There was a small change to the app
> which would not effect this and we have even run the previous version,
which
> has been running since December, last week and was worked fine, but that
> still has the same problem.
>
> The distiller printer seems to freeze as if its out of disk space, like a
> printer out of paper, to create the file and holds up the rest those
queued
> behind it.
>
> If we shutdown the computer completely for two or three minutes and
restart,
> run the app it works fine and the PDF's are created and emails sent
> successfully. Try a few hours later then is won't work again until we shut
> down.
>
> I can't find any later updates to the distiller printer driver that would
> help or troubleshooting problems like this from Adobe. A number of people
> are blaming my Delphi app which I don't believe is causing the problem as
it
> can work are a reboot and the previous working version does work either.
One
> PC the fails on as 120MB free space and the other 39MB so it can't be a
lack
> of disk space as each PDF is only 12-13K and only upto 20 are created. No
> new software has been installed on either PC. We are unaware of any
network
> changes that could effect this.
