Please follow the links above before attempting to use the information below There’s unfortunately no official Sage support for having Paperless Office PDF printing work on 64 Bit operating systems with Sage 100 ERP versions earlier than 4.30 One situation that a client encountered recently was an apparent inability to install the MAS 90 Paperless Office PDF Converter to Windows 2008 64 Bit edition. Each time we attempted to run the Extended Solution PDF setup (Library Master – Main – Company Maintenance – Email Tab – Advanced) – we would be greeted with “Unable to initialize PDF viewer”.

Upon closer inspection we could see that the install routine did not appear to place the PDF writer into the printers folder on the server. One theory is that we perhaps needed a 64 bit version of the Amyuni PDF drivers. Note: We are still testing this solution and still cannot report that this resolves every (or any) case of problems installing the Extended Solutions PDF writer to a 64 bit operating system. The instructions below are meant to only be used with a 64 Bit OS where all other normal installations have been unsuccessful. We have had one report that and installing it will resolve issues with installing Paperless Office under Windows 7 64-bit. Again, these solutions are all workarounds people have reported using and not supported by Sage or guaranteed to work in every situation.

Install MAS90 Extended Solutions PDF Writer Manually to Windows 2008 64 Bit 1. Right-click on your Desktop, and select New Folder.

Name the folder ‘Amyuni 64bit Driver’. And save the file to the ‘Amyuni 64bit Driver’ folder on your Desktop.

Unzip the contents of the zip file into the ‘Amyuni 64bit Driver’ folder. Enter amyuni when prompted for a password.

Double-click the Install.exe file located in the ‘Amyuni 64bit Driver’ to begin the driver installation process. An Amyuni Document Converter will open, displaying the current progress. Once the installation is complete, click the OK button in the Amyuni Document Converter window. Verify that the PDF driver was installed correctly: In Windows XP: Click on Start Printers and Faxes. You should see a printer called ‘Amyuni Document Converter’. In Windows Vista: Click the Windows button and select Printers. Right click the ‘Amyuni Document Converter’, select Rename, and rename the printer to Extended Solutions PDF Converter.

The above fixed error -30 for us. However in the past I have also received error -41. Gareth my friend, you need some extra points there - thanks so much for the follow up, that helped a lot. I was leaning more towards a.NET issue than the PDF Generator because, well, I wasn't having a PDF issue.

But once I started looking into the TS PDF Generator I realized it is the Amyuni document converter. This user also has Quickbooks installed on her laptop which also uses Amyuni for its PDF and document conversion. Long story short, I checked the Advanced properties tab for the TS PDF Generator and found it using the Amyuni Document Convertor 300 driver where another install was using 400. I changed it to 400, and manually set the licensing info (found in the install VB script in the prerequisites directory you referenced) - and it is now exporting to Excel. Thanks again, your post was instrumental in getting me to that point.
