Can you please advise if this is a bug? I believe the printer bug is rotating the printed page to landscape whenever a stamp is added to the print.

In addition, I suspect the margins are also impacted, by the rotation transformation. This can be observed by the cropping of header and footer detail from prints.

When creating a PDF from a file whose filename contains umlauts, those characters are replaced with '?'.

In my example I created a file with Notepad whose name is 'Umlauts Test ae-ä oe-ö ue-ü sz-ß Ae-Ä Oe-Ö Ue-Ü.txt'. When printing to clawPDF the suggested title is 'Umlauts Test ae-? oe-? ue-? Ae-? Oe-? Ue-?'.

We are testing your tool to use it in an automated invironment. Now after every printjob the genereated file (pdf, tif) is openend by the default viewer. We can't find an option in profile settings to disable this. Can this be added?

Hi, thanks for the program but there is a problem:
I created 5 printers, 5 profiles for them, each profile should save a text file (TXT) to a certain folder, but this does not happen, I noticed which last profile saved this one and it works - that is, saving the profile that was last saved to a folder. It's the same with pdf.
does not work in templates
Привет, спасибо за программу но есть проблемка:
Cоздал 5 принтеров, под них 5 профилей, каждый профиль должен сохранять в определенную папку текстовый файл (TXT) но это не происходит, заметил какой последний профиль сохранил такой и работает - т.е. сохранение в папку того профиля который был последним сохранен. С pdf тоже самое.
В шаблонах не отрабатывает

I'm using clawPDf to save a copy of the printed document, then print it using thermal receipt printer, but dimensions after conversion are too big, which makes the receipt cropped.

If I print directly to the receipt printer without clawPDF, it print correct.

is there a way to preserve the original file dimensions when using clawPDF to convert to PDF file ?

Is there a build instruction available somewhere?

When I tried to build (after extracting clawmon/x86 and clawmon/x64 from msi) i'm getting missing files from clawPDF_setup

And when I try to change configuration to "Any CPU" i'm getting missing openssl file:

An instruction covering build from start to finish would be nice...

is there a way to EMBED used fonts within the generated PDF files? perhaps a backdoor way / script if necessary (i see there is an option to subsequently "run script" within the profile settings interface)?

see screenshot attached - the source document contains a particular barcode font

however here is the generated PDF (via clawPDF) as viewed on a different computer - you can see the barcodes are not displayed correctly, presumably because that particular barcode font is not present on that other computer

the fix for this issue is usually to force fonts to be embedded - e.g. see below the "embed all used fonts" setting within the profile manager from another pdf printer

PS. this is an outstanding program in my testing so far today, thanks

I know this repo of ClawPDF is mostly abandoned, but this is something i know i did before and now doesn't work.

If i print in the PDF printer a few pages, and i want to combine them, normally you wait a bit or go to the combine button to look all printing jobs stacking there. Now that doesn't happen, it only shows the first one, the one what brings the ClawPDF dialog.

But there is a trick, if you close that dialog and try to print again that first page (or any page, but if i interesed in that being part of the final pdf is what you need to do), or open the ClawPDF option screen, it pops the dialog again, but this time with everything stacked, without that first part which i cancelled, but with the last part that invoked ClawPDF (that's why is the same as the first) and you can order and combine them.

I think i did this before without doing that workaround, maybe something change in the Windows 10 printer service?

I am using the ClawPDF printer and I want to run the script (.exe or .bat) on completing the PDF conversion.
I tested it out and it works charm.

But the issue here is that I need to run this external process in the background and not in the foreground.
I have tried putting '&' or '\B' while putting the script in the configuration but no luck.

Could anyone knows how I can achieve this?

Hi, so i added a few views to the claw and i modify the lenguage files to add the translation to the new view but when i run the claw it keeps showing me the text of the xaml and not the one in the lenguage file (if i modify existing text in the lenguage file it works, but not with new content) i dont know if i have to add something to the views so it can read the translation but i cant find any solution to this.

It does not matter which folder I chose or new folder I created under C drive, all the files are dumped in C:\ directly. There is not any way I can install it, say, C:\Program Files(x86)\ClawPDF.

Hi, I have issue with clawmon port configuration. I need to change log level to 'all' but button ok is disabled.
Do you have any hints?

When i complie clawmon, The 64-bit OpenSSL static library is missing .

Hello,

When attempting to build the project, I receive the following errors which appear to be files that are missing. I did not see any explicit build events which generate these (such as by the clawmon project) and they are files added as content to the clawPDF.csproj project.

Could you please provide input in resolving this?

I alr installed the printer and normally the printer can work.
However, sometimes I faced below issue:

1. the printer is not working when trigger it from any web browser or any printing page
2. After reboot, printer can work properly
3. print test page in application setting can work
4. No log file was saved
5. I check on the queue of the printer when I click print, it appear once and suddenly disappear from the queue list

Any possibility that can cause this issue and how to avoid that?

If i understood profile settings correctly, its not considering auto save path correctly based on printer.

Hi,

Hi,
I'm trying to use this to creat pdfs for scientific posters. right now the maximum size is 78.75 inches in either dimention. Is there any way to increase this?

Print job and ini file are placed in claw-spooler folder of printserver but not placed in target folder as pdf. Nothing in the log file when printed from client with network printer.

is there a setting I can adjust to make it work? Seems like some kind of permission thing. But I am not allowed to configure clawmon.

There should be an additional prerequisite for this project (at least for VS 2019).

The Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project extension needs to be added to VS 2019 before loading the project solution.

Extensions -> Manage Extensions
Find and Select -> Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project
Restart VS 2019
Now open solution.

If solution was already opened and built, follow above steps, and after reopening VS 2019 and the clawPDF solution, select the clawPDF_setup project in solution explorer and execute a Project -> Reload.

When I open the project file clawPDF.sln, I get this message:
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the followig projects....
..\clawPDF_setup\clawPDF_setup.vdproj
I click OK, at the IDE screen of Solution Explorer show:
clawPDF_setup (incompatible)
This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio

It does not print, and in the error log, there's this:

Hi all

Love this software..well done to the creators.

Does anyone know of a way to create automatically merge all the separate files received ? I'm printing from a very old does app via dosbox-x which send each individual file to the printer.
I would like to end up with one single pdf with all the separate files in one merged file.
I see this can be done from the prgram window but I'd like ti to happen without having to open the window , no manual intervention.
I'd appreciate any help

Thanks in advance
Den

Line 1290:
WriteToIniFile(_T("0"), _T("PinterName"), m_szPrinterName, infpath);
shoud be
WriteToIniFile(_T("0"), _T("PrinterName"), m_szPrinterName, infpath);

This prevents usage of different profiles since profiles are determined via PrinterName.
LastUsedProfile is always used.

Hello, one of the visitors to the Russian-language site about free software wrote a comment on the description of ClawPDF. Here's a quote:
"The program is wonderful. But I consider the impossibility to disable auto-opening of created files as a very big drawback."

Is there really no way to turn off the automatic opening of the generated files?

Здравствуйте, один из посетителей русскоязычного сайта о свободном программном обеспечении написал комментарий к описанию ClawPDF. Вот цитата:
Программа замечательная. Но очень большим недостатков я считаю невозможность отключить автооткрытие созданных файлов

Действительно ли нет возможности отключить автоматическое открытие созданных файлов?

Installed clawPDF, printed the PDF test documents, which look fine.
However, printing one of my own PDFs (created by Miktex) went completely wrong; all the colors are wrong, e.g. the text is printed in red! When I choose Color Model : CMYK, then the colors appear washed-out. How to fix this?

Ciao!
You have written a wonderful program!

If I can give you an idea for future development:
for sending the PDF in an email, allow it to be sent only to a preset recipient.

You should simply, give the possibility, that the recipient is required every time at the time of printing.

Applications thus possible:

• schools, where students access the same PC with a single account, can send printouts in their own email.
• Companies, the customer asks you for a copy of the offer, just print it out by entering their email.
• Internet Poit: when someone wants to print, they can do so by sending it to their email
  I hope this can be a useful input for you.
  If you implement it, I am the first one who will test it for you.
  Greetings
  Diego

hi,
I am getting an error for which request resolution.
I am using ClawPDF to Print a PDF file from an EMF file. Essential the emf file has the extention *.spl and has been picked from Printer Spool folder.
I am printing the spl file from SPLView (https://sourceforge.net/projects/splviewer/)
I am getting black rectangle boxes in some places of converted PDF. Don't know how to resolve this one.
Attaching sample pdf showing the issue.
abc.pdf

Whereas if I am using Microsoft Print To PDF, the PDF is coming perfectly fine.
ms_pdf.pdf

Pl help in resolving this one.

Thanks

Hello, can I participate in this project? What IDE do you use? I use VS2017 compiled failed, is there anything not uploaded?

Just want to print the PDF to auto-save to folder (this works).
Do not want the default PDF viewer to open after printing/auto-saving..could not find a setting in Profile.
So how do you do that?

I tried printing files in Notepad, Word, Paint, websites. They worked well with clawPDF printer.
But when I use Photos app or Paint3D to print out image files (.jpg, .png, .bmp) into PDF file, clawPDF printer cannot print out.
Can clawPDF supports to print image or anything by using new Windows 10 applications like Paint3D, Photos?
Will it work well as "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer?

clawPDF worked with:
Paint

Mouse Right-click menu then select Print

Didn't work with:
Paint3D with new Windows 10 Print

Photos with new Windows 10 Print

Sometimes when printing a job need to check a file name or location in another application.

If the focus is changed the print dialogue moves into the backgroun and does not reappear. Also does not appear in taskbar.

Any advice for running ClawPDF as a Windows Service / Background Service?

With the existing ability to disable the #33 I'm hoping users may be able to recommend how the virtual printer can always run in the background?

Wen selected automatic saving, there should be no popup with the PDF.
JUST AUTOMATIC SAVING IN A FOLDER.
silently print PDF is not possible. there always pops up the file.
if you print 100 files this is very bad.

please add a silent mode

Is it possible to prevent the pdf from popping up in the browser after the auto save option?

It would be really cool if it was possible to manually set the date format for document titles.
Currently the are two: DateTime and DateTime.yyyyMMddHHmmss.
Ideally something like the date format of google spreadsheets, where one can build the format they want by adding components.

Not an issue per se. I found the language ini files, but I can't find the config. It's not located in the installation directory, couldn't find in in %appdata% either. Are the setting stored in the registry?

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to import my settings from an already existing file.

So I select my file and check if my printer is correctly configured, and it is. I then click Save and exit the software.

But when I restart it, the printer name has been changed back to "clawPDF".

Here is the log file:
log clawpdf.docx

I have cloned the latest code and changed a few things to get the MapiClient working (refer to issue #20 ).

I now need to regenerate the MSI installer (I want to confirm the fix does work as expected by doing a full install on a clean machine) but I am not succeeding. When building the clawPDF_setup project in Release Win32 configuration, I am getting error:

Any idea what I am missing? The files are in the Release folder of some of the dependent projects but are not in the top level _Build directory. This is likely a newbie -- Thanks for your understanding.

Hey There,

I'm facing an issue with ClawPDF Crashing while trying to print after saving a file automatically, which works quite decent.

It's running on a 2019 RDS-Farm :D

Thank for your Time and Wisdom

Thank you very much for creating such a cool virtual printer under the GNU AGPL license. On my personal site about free software PDF Creator has long enjoyed great popularity, but it has a whole bunch of flaws that are constantly mentioned by our visitors.

One of them is any advertising stuff that is offered during installation. In your program this is not, THANKS!

The other of them, the lack of support for the TIF format, after one of the versions, it disappeared. Thank!

I bring a link to the description of your beautiful program on my website (link).

Hi, friend,

The virtual printer can printer image, with app of microsoft store of windows 10, for example (Paint 3D, Photo, and Skip & Sketch), However office applications, paint and mail clients and browsers if it works without problem.

Pls, Check
