RPvdsEx takes longer than expected to open

Tech Note: TN0827
Product: RPvdsEx
Version: > 65
Date Added: 2008-05-13

Issue

RPvdsEx takes longer than normal (greater than 5 seconds) to open fully and macro property dialog boxes take longer than normal (greater than 2 seconds) to open. This happens if the PC has a problem connecting to the Default Printer specified for the system.

This will often happen with a network printer that is not currently available or has been removed from the network altogether.

Solution

Change the system's Default printer to one that is always available to the PC (e.g. PDF Writer).
