Quicken 2009 PDF printer problem- mistake or intentional?

It appears right now that in order to get the Quicken 2009 PDF printer to
work in Vista, you have to run the program in administrator mode. Since
this software was released after Vista, might this problem be the result of
SP1, or bad programming, or possibly intentional for some specific reason?

Thanks,
Clark

Wouldn't it be better to ask this of Intuit in their own forums?

No, this forum would have a better idea of the programming issues.

WRONG - Programming issues are better solved in the PROGRAMMING forums or
the QUICKEN forums. Your issue is with Quicken in the Vista environment. I
doubt it's a programming issue.

So, you're saying that Vista must be bad because Quicken 2009 PDF printer
doesn't work correctly? You're one of the reasons that the Movie
"Idiocracy" is so prophetic, and you've made my filter pack.

see the support for quicken 2009... they should have an update, or FAQ or
forum you can search...

yes vista has broken many applications, not the other way around.

but not many in here will know the problem ..

You have it backwards. Vista is a relativly new OS and not all applications
work with it. New applications should function well with Vista and if they
don't, it's a function of the development team with the application not
understanding Vista.

You need to read a post before you get nasty... It has nothing to do with
Vista, but why a company would put out a program that does not work with
Vista more than a year after it was released..

Oh well --

I suspect the problem has the same root that was in Quicken 2008. They
used the 3.0 PDF engine and it was not compatible with Vista 64 bit. I
spend more than three months trying to ferret out the issues with both
Microsoft and Intuit. It appears Intuit does not care about the 64 bit
version of Vista. I invested many, many hours investigating this
problem. Ultimately, had to go to Microsoft Money, but they are way
behind Intuit in functionality.

It is not just the 64 bit Vista. My PDF printer will work only if I set
the program to "Run as Administrator". Not if being run by a standard
user or administrator/user. I wish I could find out what the difference
was between Running as Administrator and running from a
user/administrator account. All my other printers work normally, but I
do have an HP printer.
