Hi Panos, Interesting, I had not seen that bug report. Yes, it’s the same issue, and unfortunately it seems not fully solved in 9.6.x. I tried using 9.6.7 rc 2 Win 32bit and built both a 32bit and 64bit standalone, but neither did any better really. They can sometimes succeed on first run to c

Hello Andreas, This sounds like this bug https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23088, which should be fixed in LC 9.6.6 RC-1 and newer. If this is not the case for you, could you attach a sample stack and the pdf to this report and reopen it? Or send it to me directly if they are confident

Print to pdf fails on Windows with multiple pages

Hi all, TL;DR: App/IDE crashes/fails when printing 30+ pages to single pdf, using Windows 10. Works fine on Mac. Windows memory issues? Long version: I have a stack/app where a crucial feature is printing to pdf. Om Mac (LC 9.6.6 or 9.6.7 rc1) this works flawlessly with 156 posts, resulting i

Thanks for the update, Marty. So it seems the revpdfprinter.dylib was not signed, and Big Sur does not allow unsigned binaries to run, or sth like this. The "--deep" param ensures all the components in the bundle will be signed. Kind regards, Panos -- On Mon, 8 Feb 2021 at 21:26, Marty Knapp via
