I'm trying to get ATE to work with PDFX 6 (the version bundled with the ATE installer), and receiving a Visual C++ Runtime Library -
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\ATE\bin\ashw32.exe
abnormal program termination This occurs before PDFX ever starts to generate the PDF. This same code works with the previous PDFX-3

Can you email me a sample print file? I'm guessing it's related to a specific directive or set/order of directives.

Mysterious. I had to change the Save.FullFileName spec to an equivalent one under my Users directory, but it prints fine here with either A-Shell/Windows or ATE 6.4.1554.4 and PDF-XChange Standard V6 printer 6.0.321.
Maybe if you turn the LP traces on we can narrow down the location of where it crashes?

Another possibility would be to try the V5 version (aka PDF-XChange Printer 2012 ). We didn't do anything special to support the V6 version which works similarly to the V5 version. (The V5 version is totally different in the way it operates from the V3 version, but A-Shell and ATE 6.4 should recognize and support either of them.)

I haven't tested it yet. John A had to fallback on V5 version, and it does work.
I'll get you the traces first thing in the morning

That's basically what I get, except here it continues on after the "Requesting printer DC..." Printer found

69 10:53:49 <PRINT:2f35> return from x_ezspl() In looking through the code, I have a suspicion that maybe there is a dependency on the existence of the V5 printer having been previously installed on the PC in question. I tried uninstalling mine, but I'm not 100% sure that the uninstall has removed all the pieces. Do you happen to know if know if the problem occurs if both the V5 and V6 drivers are installed? This may require some further investigation on my end. But as of this point, I would say that A-Shell 6.4 does not (necessarily) support the PDFX V6 driver, and until that is resolved, you should stick with the V5 driver. (Note that I'm not aware of any particular advantages to the V6 driver, and certainly there are no new features exposed, but obviously it would be preferable to support the latest.)

If that's the case when you get a minute can you provide an ATE-PDFX 5 installer.
I'll let you know if installing the V5 driver fixes it.

My real question was whether installing the V5 driver also makes the V6 driver work.

Actually I think I've just confirmed that in a virgin virtual machine. I first installed just the V6 driver and got the same results you did (crash). Then I installed the V5 driver and repeated the test (still requesting the V6 printer) and it works.
Furthermore, it is now apparent to me that while it may be using the "front door" of the V6 driver, it is actually generating the PDF using the same internal code as the V5 driver uses. (The generated files are the same, and the properties even indicate that it was generated by the V5 driver.)
So for the moment, I'm just going to generate an ATE/PDFX5 installer and let it go at that. (Full V6 support, whatever that may really mean, will probably have to wait for A-Shell 6.5)
