I updated to HL 8.8h and PDF plug-in 1.7. I'm getting the same error when I try to install PDF plug-in 1.7. I tried the work-around above, but when I start HL I get an error that says the program cannot start because pdflib.dll is missing. HL starts after I dismiss that, but I can't save a character as a PDF.
I uninstalled PDF plug-in v1.7 and re-installed v1.6 (Windows 7 users, it's C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\download\pdfcanvas16_win_install.exe ). That works.
I have emailed a report to
