PDF Files May Need Recompilation under New Service Pack

ID: Q184508

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 4.0

SUMMARY

If a print session is configured to use a PDT file, then a recompilation may be required, using the version of PDFCOMP.EXE that is distributed with a new service pack. Unpredictable results may occur if PDT files compiled with PDFCOMP.EXE from earlier service packs are used on a newer service pack level.

MORE INFORMATION

To compile the PDF, enter the following command line:

pdfcomp <PDFfile> <PDTfile.PDT>

You must use the extension .PDT for the SNA Server Manager to find the file. If you do not specify a path, PDFCOMP.EXE will write the PDT file in the current folder. Optionally, create a folder to hold your PDTs and add that path to the PDT file name. The first time you select a PDT file in SNA Server Manager, it will look in the \SNA\SYSTEM folder. If you keep your PDT files elsewhere and browse to your PDT folder, SNA Server Manager will remember that folder.
