Online converters are best suited for smaller documents or situations where you don't want to download and install a full program to get the job done. There are also online creators where you upload the file to a website, and then you'll get a PDF returned to you. Simply drop a file to a set location, and it turns that file into a PDF. This will work with any printable file.Īnother method these tool use is via drag-and-drop. Some are free PDF printers, so when you want to turn a file into a PDF, you'll just "print" like normal, but choose the software printer that you installed. These can be a lifesaver when you're trying to make a document less likely to be edited, and easier to distribute. Incidently the print preview was perfectly normal.These free PDF creators will easily allow you to turn almost any file or document into a PDF. 1) Go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\圆4\ -> Delete All the files 2) Go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\W32X86\ -> Delete All the files 3) Optional (really for x86 systems), Go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS -> Delete All the files 4) This step involves the Registry -> Back up the registry and/or the keys you delete should you need them!! 5) Open Regedit 6) Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers 7) Delete ALL the sub keys 8) Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows 圆4\Drivers 9) Delete ALL the sub keys 10) Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows 圆4\Print Processors -> Delete ALL the sub keys 11) Close Registry Reboot 12) Go to "Turn Windows features on or off" in the control panel 13) Uncheck "Windows Fax and Scan" 14) Reboot 15) Go to "Turn Windows features on or off" in the control panel 16) Recheck "Windows Fax and Scan" 17) Reboot At this point you should have a stable print spooler.Īll this because Firefox prints blank pages whatever site page I try to print to the user's Xerox printers the same result was obtained when creating a PDF with PDFCreator.


Instead, reboot the machine into SAFE mode.

Don't bother trying to use the File -> Server Properties -> Driver -> Remove function it won't work.
