I apologize for asking this here, but I'm banned from all the more appropriate forums! In LB 4.04, if I attempt to print to a PDF Printer (doPDF v7, if it matters) I get a 'Runtime Error: stack overflow'. It happens whether I set that printer to be the default, or select it in a PRINTERDIALOG.

I've used the same PDF Printer from several other Windows applications (e.g. Notepad, Word, LBB) and it works fine. Is this a known issue? I couldn't find any reference to it on the Liberty BASIC Bug Tracker.

Richard.

I don't think any problem with a PDF printer can be titled as known issue.

I personally have used quite a few without problems.

I can't prove it's an LB problem, but the fact that the same PDF Printer works properly from every other application I've tried is highly suggestive that it is.

Conventionally in Windows the stack is allocated dynamically (by means of guard pages) so an 'overflow' is all but impossible. Perhaps LB allocates only a small stack which isn't enough for doPDF.
