Cláudio,
You are incorrect. PDFCreator is a User Mode Driver (level 3). It is not a
Kernel mode driver (level 2). I've tested this extensively.
You will also need to get the Terminal Server Patch from
http://rapid.eik.bme.hu/~gergo/pdfcreator/
This works perfectly in a Windows 2003 Terminal/Citrix Server environment.
However, if there are problems, then another option is to...
1.) Uninstall PDFCreator and Reboot
2.) Download the Adobe printer driver from
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/1.x/winsteng.exe
3.) Install the driver and Reboot
4.) Now install PDFCreator. PDFCreator will now use the Adobe driver
instead.
Depending on how you lock down your environment you may need to change
security on some files and registry keys. So I would suggest using filemon
and regmon if it doesn't work for you "out of the box".

Please respond to

Yep, PDFCreator is kernel mode. :-(
Go for Neevia. Give it a try. I worked a lot with many of these things on
TS
and this really impressed me.

And it's also a Kernel-mode driver... Ugh! This is the 21st century folks,
it's time to leave 20th century technology behind.

Q: The printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your
computer that blocks NT 4.0 drivers
A: The error message you get is because of a Group Policy that by default
disallows installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers. Kernel-mode
drivers have access to system-wide memory, and poorly written drivers can
cause Blue Screens. To allow installation of these kind of drivers, follow
these steps:

What about the free "PDFCreator" program
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ and
http://sector7g.wurzel6.de/pdfcreator/index_en.htm)? We have not used
it under Citrix but it works great for us at the local/desktop level.
It's Ghostscript based and it's free.
