@madmike - we're releasing a new build next week (early August) with some fixes so when that comes out please install it too as the issue should be solved.

Tried new version 8.0.915.0 today.

Same problem.

If someone here has used another PDF printer and is happy with it please recommend it.

I was happy with doPDF but ever since I got the message a new version was available and tried to upgrade it has not worked.

Some more information.

I tried to uninstall novaPDF Printer Driver with Revo Uninstaller but it did not show up as installed even though it was listed in Add/Remove Programs.

I an a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit user so I went to http://support.microsoft.com/mats/progr ... _uninstall and ran the fixit, this removed novaPDF Printer Driver from Add/Remove Programs. After this I was able to run the dpPDF install program, but the PDF printer did not show up in Devices and Printers. I uninstalled doPDF and novaPDF Printer Driver (and after a reboot it did not come back in Add/Remove Programs). I went back to Foxit which gives me both a PDF viewer and PDF printer. I had quite using it because an update had included Opencandy, that is why I switched to doPDF. The current Foxit installed fine and did not have any "junk" with it as near as I can tell.

I was happy with doPDF when it worked, but I could never get it to work again after the update.

I have posted this so if you have novaPDF Printer Driver and can't get rid of it this might help.

I was able to successfully uninstall the previous version following the instructions. I am not able to install the latest version of dopdf 8.2.927 at all. I have tried rebooting a few times and attempted to install. Installer is going all the way up to 80+% and then throws below error and rolls back. I liked dopdf when it was working, please release a working version or share the instructions on how to install it successfully.

I have the exactly same problem.

I deleted all the files you said, but"novaPDF 8 Printer driver" re-appears.

Pop up says 'print spooler should be closed before continueing the install', so close the application.

But it could not remove the driver.

Please answer me how can I solve this problem.
