Evening all.
I have a problem with Win OvPro and Printing to a PDF using PDFCreator, it
goes like this.
I have a large document 2 metres wide by 350mm deep.
Up to and including PDFCreator version 1.6.2 OvPro would pick up the Win
Print Form size I'd created in the Win Print Server (Paper) Form dialogue
(Nb1) and the Final PDF would be the size of my document 2m x 350.
Starting with PDFCreator 1.9 and on to the current version 2.5.1 the
PDFCreator configuration UI was completely rewritten with much reduced
config options, a side effect of this rewriting is, OvPro through
PDFCreator will no longer print to the set (Paper) Form size.
Instead, no matter what is set in the OvPro Print Setup dialogue, it will
only print an A4 sized section of the 2m x 350 document.
It might be questioned, why am I asking here about PDFCreator...
I've done a number of tests using other Win apps like PagePlus X9 with a
2m x 350 file using the same 2m Win (Page) Form and they print correctly
to a PDF. (Nb2).
Is there anyone here who uses Windows OvPro and PDFCreator who'd like try
my file and see if my conclusion is correct, or if it's just an artifact
of my Win 7 Pro SP1 64bit machine?
Thanks
Dave
If anyone is interested, I'll post the OvPro file upline at:

Nb1: You'll need to created a comparable paper size in the Win Print
Server Form dialogue. (Ask if required and I'll explain).
Nb2: I'm fully aware PPX9 can natively output as PDF... But that's not
what I was testing.
PS: I've had much dialogue on the PDFCReator Forums, but of course they no
nothing of Ovation Pro.
