Q: When I launch PDF Studio, it shows error message “Invalid user home folder characters”. How can I resolve this issue?

A: PDF Studio shows this error when your user home folder has unicode characters, which leads to PDF Studio not being able to access the native libraries in your user home folder. This is apply to Windows only and affecst the following features:

  • Windows (SWT) file dialog
  • OCR
  • Scanning
  • Native window decorations

To resolve this issue, you will need to change the location of PDF Studio user home folder to a path without any Unicode / CJK characters.
