Re: Print to pdf fails on Windows with multiple pages
Hello all, Thank you for the update and the sample stack/files. I will reopen this bug report then, and we will investigate further.

Re: Print to pdf fails on Windows with multiple pages
I can replicate this here also with 10DP2. And have attached a sample stack so others could also test. But i could not attach the pdf. I am always getting this error here: "It looks like you didn't come from the right page (you have no valid token for the create_attachment action while processing the 'attachment.cgi' script). The reason could be one of: You clicked the "Back" button of your web browser after having successfully submitted changes, which is generally not a good idea (but harmless). You entered the URL in the address bar of your web browser directly, which should be safe. You clicked on a URL which redirected you here without your consent, in which case this action is much more critical. Are you sure you want to commit these changes anyway? This may result in unexpected and undesired results" So i uploaded it on my server and added a url to it.

Re: Print to pdf fails on Windows with multiple pages
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 create the full pdf, but after that it seems Windows calls it a day and refuses to repeat the effort. Since the stack/data is indeed confidential, I’ll make it available to you through other channels.

Re: Print to pdf fails on Windows with multiple pages
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 confidential. Also, it might be worth checking with the 32bit version of LC for Windows Kind regards, Panos -- On Thu, 24 Mar 2022 at 12:08, Andreas Bergendal via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > TL;DR: > App/IDE crashes/fails when printing 30+ pages to single pdf, using Windows > 10.
