ERROR 46 PRINTING TO A PDF PRINTER
« on: December 28, 2018, 11:36:31 AM »
I get an error 46 when printing to a PDF printer. This happens on remote windx workstations. and only once in a while. But when it happens it happens all the time.
I can run the same print job from my workstation and all is well. It seems to print at least 1 full page and then error. The errors occur on a heading line with a 'cr' at the end of it.

Does anybody have a clue what might be happening?

An Error 46 indicates a length of string error.  There are some limits on the length of data you can put in a 'TEXT' mnemonic, font name, or pathname for an image, so these might be the cause.

Also make sure the WindX is running current software as old versions of WindX had different string length maximums.

We would also suggest that you perhaps contact our support department at https://helpdesk.pvxplus.com and see if they can assist.  Please provide them the serial number and version of PxPlus you are using.

Seems once I get the error 46 anything I do generates an error 46.
Just tried to type END and got an error 46. I will have to kill the process.
