PDFCreator 1.6.2 is available for download

PDFCreator 1.6.2 fixes brings to components in different version. This version includes new MSCOMCTL.OCX file. Ghostscript was downgraded to 9.05, because 9.05 has a memory leak which causes a high memory consumption when a lot of PDFs are converted, like in server mode.

This version also fixes a problem in the pdfcmon on Terminal Servers. The detection for the Session name encoding (hex or decimal) was broken and did only work, when logging was activated.

What's new in PDFCreator 1.6.2?
This release contains the following improvements and new features:

Improvements:

• Downgraded Ghostscript to 9.05 due to a memory leak in 9.06
• Updated MSCOMCTL.OCX to include the latest version.
• Some translations were updated.

Bug Fixes:

• pdfcmon contained a bug on Terminal Servers with disabled logging. Activating logging made it disappear. This is fixed now.
• Fixed a problem when PDF encryption was enabled, but no password provided. This resulted in an empty PDF file. Now entering a password is enforced.
• Fixed some minor bugs.

Known issues:

• No hyperlinks possible (Hyperlinks for MS Word are possible with the combination of PDF-T-Maker and PDFCreator.)
• There are problems if non-ANSI characters exist in the title. This causes Ghostscript to not create a file at all. Avoid such characters as a workaround.

System Requirements
PDFCreator is designed to support: Windows 9x, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows 8
