RC1: print bug with Acrobat 7

Post by aQe-YWl4 »

I'm using Acrobat 7 as only printer in my system. When I print a file the Acrobat dialog showing the print status opens but then XnView freezes and nothing happens.
When I open "Printer" tab in print-dialog, click on "Configuration" and just click OK and print the everything works fine.
In beta 9 I got a dialog telling tme that XnView tried to use some non-existing .joboptions file for the printjob instead of the default one set in Acrobat.

Please try to get this fix in 1.9 final, it's hell annoying when you have to print lots of images.

works fine with XnView 1.8.x and any other app. I guess it's related to that new print dialog.
If I can provide you with anything feel free to ask

Works fine with CuteWriter.
Adobe offers a 30 day trial of Acrobat 8: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryout.html

In the meantime I went back to beta 6 to get you a screenshot of the error message I'm getting when XnView tries to use the wrong config file: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/8136 ... agess3.png
It should be "Standard.joboptions" insteads and as said no other app has similar problems.

This is still broken in RC2! The error message doesn't appear anymore, but I'm not asked for where to create the file and XnView freezes while printing. If I open the printer config dialog first it works.
So it seems you fixed only a part of the problem.
