The culprit is the (newer versions of) Adobe Reader. It has nothing to do with the operating system or the version of Ghost you use. I installed Foxit Reader from Foxit software, and from this program I can correctly print secured PDFS to virtual printers. (Mind you, I have no ties to Foxit, and I do neither recommend nor advise against the use of their software). |

Solution: Don't use Adobe Reader! The culprit is the (newer versions of) Adobe Reader. 1. This advice is of limited value so far as the OP omitted the version numbers of the software he complained about (both OS and the app.) 2. Standard cure of problems like this is to uninstal the software then reinstal it. The OP did not say whether he had tried the standard cure. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

error printing secured PFS from Adobe Reader to virtual printer(PDFCreator)
there is a solution for this error (OFFENDING COMMAND: eexec) when printing a secured pdf to another pdf using PDFCreator. the solution is to choose Encapsulated Post Script format when you are in the save as dialog in PDFCreator (choose EPS extension in the drop-down). the trick here is to save one page at a time, because ghostview/gsview can only open EPS files - reliably - which have only one page after that, install ghostview/gsview and ghostscript. if you have PDFCreator, you already have ghostscript. you just need to install ghostview/gsview and go to menu Options Advanced Configure. In the field "Ghostscript DLL" you must paste the path to where gsdll32.dll is, typically (or similar to): "C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\GS9.04\gs9.04\bin\gsdll32.dll" Below that, in "Ghostscript include path" add this at the end or the beginning, make sure entries are separated with a semi-colon: "C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\GS9.04\gs9.04\lib;" After this is done, you can open the EPS file you created with PDFCreator... et voila! Now you can print from gsview to PDFCreator to get a pdf (make sure you choose the PostScript Printer option when you print from gsview to PDFCreator). once you have all the pages, you can join them into one document using pdftk (free software, google it!). |

Not only is that wrong but it is a reply to a 6 year old post where PDFCreator has had many newer versions released and bug fixes. HINT: You do NOT use a Web Browser such as Firefox ! And they wonder why Google Groupers are summarily killfiled by the rand and file of Usenet users. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |
