Description of process with the issue
The object is to convert 2 pdf files to jpg using a batch file.
By starting convertpdf2jpg.bat the conversion is started for file1.pdf
After conversion to jpg has finished, the batch file move.bat is called by PDFCreator, which moves the jpg to directory “\converted\” and pdf to the directory “\processed\”.
This all works fine, however, between the end of the conversion of file1.pdf and the start of conversion for file2.pdf there is a very long pause (60 seconds), which of course drastically decreases performance when mass processing files.
Investigation learned, that: The file "D:\temp\file1.pdf" could not be printed!
The two main messages in the log are:
pdfforge.PDFCreator.Workflow.ConversionWorkflow.DoWorkflowWork: Converting D:\Temp\file1.jpg
