  • Foxit Reader PDF Printer is broken ufter update to v. 7.0.3.916

    HI,
    I have updated 56 computers yesterday to v. 7.0.3.916 from 621.0618 and this morning the users are flooding me with complaints. I can reproduce the problem on all of our computers.
    Problem #1. When I try to print from internet explorer (V.11) it creates the pdf file but when I open it I have the error message "Format Error: Not a PDF or corrupted" No matter what I want to print from Internet Explorer this happens. If I print to other printers they print fine.
    Problem #2. When I try to print an email from outlook and select Foxit Reader PDF Printer from the drop down list it immediately gives me the "Microsoft Outlook has stopped working" I don't have this problem if I select any other printer. (please see attached screenshot)
    I can print a test page with Foxit Reader PDF Printer.
    Our computers are: Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
    Office: Office 2013 32 bit and 64 bit mixed.
    Please advise ASAP.

    Please note that there are no crashlog.txt or crash.dmp file in the installation folder or under C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Foxit Reader'
    There is a sendcrashreport.exe and when I run it says: This program is used to send the crash report. It need to work with the Main Application. Without this program, the crash report will not be sent"

      Hi aclhelpdesk,

      1) Regarding the "Not a PDF or corrupted" problem, please try to re-install Foxit Reader and make sure that you've ticked "Shell Extensions" and "Windows Shell Extensions for converting PDF or combining supported files" during the re-installation and see if it helps. ​Meanwhile, I've reported this issue to Foxit internal bug tracking system for further investigation. Report ID#: 61189.
      2) For "Microsoft Outlook has stopped working" issue, I've reported it to internal bug tracking system as well. Report ID#: 61208.
      3) I'll forward your comments about online support ticket system to our Web team. You may also email to [email protected] if you have any questions or suggestion. Thank you.
