I love SD5 w/ AV.

My only issue is PDFMaker will occassionally fail when PDF maker is used inside MS Word. I think the problem comes when PDF maker tries to send it to the PDF printer. I wrote a VBA application that converts dozens of word files to PDF files each day and this error occurs once or twice each day if onguard is enabled. PDF places a spinning logo in the system tray and says "Problem creating the pdf document..." or something about the pdf printer (I can't quit remember, I clear it out so fast). Anyway, I'll be grateful when this little problem gets resolved. Otherwise SD5 is lean and mean.

Thanks

Hi
SD5 now protects against malicious scripts. This may therefore be SD detecting your script as malicious (it is changing one file type to another through script...sometimes seen with viruses). I suggest deactivating File Guard in OnGuard (if that doesnt solve the problem, try disabling other OnGuards one at a time)
Hope that helps

Great suggestion... I'll try the different onguard services and I'll also try to do a better job of documenting the error messages. I wonder if it is network guard that doesn't like how adobe accesses the pdfprinter? I don't seem to have any problems my vba application itself, only when pdfmaker calls the pdf printer (though initiated from within the vba application). For that matter, I also don't have any trouble with any of my vbscripts that use WSH.

Thanks
