How do I prevent Dopdf from setting itself as the default printer? It's very annoying having to reset my default printer. Do I have to buy something?

This happened to me as well: not at installation as one would expect, but as you print your first pdf it is the only option to proceed to set doPDF as default printer.
It is most unconfortable as it is only for pdf-printing and my work requires me to print a lot in paper as well..
I am quite impressed with the doDPF otherwise!

@k0sh - doPDF sets itself as the default printer in 2 cases:
- if you are using the dopdf.exe program from Start->Programs->doPDF 7->doPDF. In order for us to be able to convert to PDF via that dopdf.exe window, it must be set as the default printer. If you don't want it set as default, use the other method for creating PDF files (i.e. open the document, go to File->Print and select doPDF as the printer manually before printing to it)
- if there's no other printer installed
I believe it's the first option in your case.

Re: default printer setting
I have doPDF version 8.8 installed and I still have this problem.
doPDF was not set as the default on install, but at random times it alters the default printer by setting itself as the default printer.
This is a bug in the software.
