For everyone who wants to get small PDF files under 4D windows with the Win
10 PDF printer, but is not interested in purchasing our wonderful PDF plugin
with PDF printer, here is a code snip to reduce the size of PDF files with
the Ghostscript Plugin from Magic Miyako.
We use it on macOS to

Chuck,
the plugin price is listed here: http://www.node.de/indexplug.htm
The license is per developer. Buy it once and distribute your solutions to
as many clients and servers as you like.

This is a very interesting observation that I was previously unaware of (or
We are using both pdfCreator and Win10’s “Print to PDF” printers - pdfCreator
for pre-Win10 machines.
It switches according to the OS version.
Discovered a couple of days ago that the Win10 printer creates huge pdf files

Hi all,
if you need a stable rock solid solution to print pdf files on windows, have
a look at our pdf plugin with pdf driver.
pdf printer driver and 32/64 Bit 4D plugin (v17 too ;-)
no boring update messages
much smaller pdfs than the win 10 built in driver
add bookmarks
add letter forms

I agree that PDF Creator is terrible on the server. I tried it briefly and
it was a headache. In addition to the points Lutz made doing any printing

There is a risk using a particular version of utility software that is not

PDF Creator 1.7 works just fine on Windows 10. No problems. And it has many

Many thanks for the replies.
I’ll attempt to go with the native PDF engine.

Hi Chuck,
Sure it works. We use it with 4D v16 on Windows.
It is mentioned in the language reference:
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16.4/Integration-of-PDFCreator-driver-under-Windows.300-3978065.en.html
But I think the example has a mistake. The second parameter of the SET PRINT
OPTION command
Are you stating this now works on windows 10. that would be great.I will
have to write code to test for OS on windows, so I can continue to use PD
creator on older machines

Hi Peter,
IMHO 4D vs PDFCreator is end of life as recent versions of PDFCreator are not
supported. We also switched to the native Windows 10 PDF driver.
If you want to store your print documents directly to disk, you must set the
path (as on macOS or with PDFCreator): SET PRINT
Peter,
Win10 has a native PDF print engine like MacOS does. You can use it.
I don't think PDFCreator 1.7whatever will even run on Win10 (but you
probably found that out).

Hi
For years I used PDF creator to generate PDFs from 4D on Windows 7 - mainly
because you didn’t have to type in a document title for every single page in a
print run and this could be done from code. My customer has now upgraded to
Windows 10 and it’s using the default PDF writer as I didn’t
