How to print to a pdf file within Sandbox

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hey (specially pk) 8)
New avast! 8 Sandbox is working like a charm without reducing the browsing speed and overall experience.

Just a problem for me. I want to print to pdf files (using PDFFill as a virtual printer) and I cannot print within the Sandbox.
The printer dialog pops up but not a file is saved and, of course, nothing is opened in the pdf reader.
Seems the same as SafeZone that cannot print (sometimes).

Is there a setting that could solve this annoyance for me?

Any solution?

Hi Tech,
I don’t really have a solution and this is a problem for me too.

I have found that I can print to pdf intermittently. I tried deleting the sandbox contents under the sandbox settings but this does not seem to work. The contents are not deleted properly which needs to be looked into.

I also found that if I boot into safemode, manually delete the sandbox folder, then boot normally, I can print to pdf. It seems to be a permissions error.

When I am not having this problem, I can manually delete the contents without a problem. When I do have this problem, I need to change permissions in order to delete this.

Strange, I know.
