Note: If you install the pdf printer driver version 4 on a live system which uses the previous pdf version 3, then the pdf creation failed by using the old plugin version. This means, that you have to integrate the new pdf plugin in all your 4d products, when the PDF-XChange driver v4 ist installed once.
