Create PDF Server for Mac OS X does fail on Mac OS X 10.4.x

We noticed that Create PDF Server for Mac OS X may stop working after processing several jobs while running on Mac OS X 10.4.x. It stops with an error message like:
    Error: LaunchApplication failed!, err = -600
    Enter return to exit
There could be also other error numbers.
As soon as a workaround or fix is available, this information will be distributed by a follow up to this Tech Info.
We made an updated Create PDF Server available which contains a workaround for the “LaunchApplication failed” problem.
You may notice a warning in the Create PDF Server log like
> Warning: LaunchApplication failed, err = -600
which can be ignored. It shows just that our workaround was needed to proceed.
