For a number of older PDF generation script sequences, another virtual printer is used. This is currently true for all script sequences that generate non-searchable PDF files.
Please note that PS_CADETT.PC3 is created automatically if it missing when the QuickPDF feature is started, even though QuickPDF itself does not use PS_CADETT.PC3. Here, a description of how you can create it manually instead is provided.
