Publisher 2010 wont save export PDF nor XPS any more

After updating my system to Windows 8, Office 2010 Publisher quit saving files as PDF and XPS. The error message was:
"Publisher cannot save the file" or in german "Publisher kann Datei nicht speichern".
On a different computer the same file saved as PDF without problems.

How-i-fixed-it:
I found the right hints how to fix it here:

I changed my default printer to a different one than before and suprisingly  PDF and XPS export in Publisher was working fine again.

How to create a hyperlink URL to open a specific page in a PDF file

I was wondering, how i can link to a specific page in a PDF file openend in the browser.

How-I-fixed it:

Heres the AdobeManual on PDF opening Parameters for command line and URL:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf

 
Specifying parameters in a URL
 
You can specify multiple parameters in a single URL. Separate each parameter with either an ampersand (&) or a pound (#) character. Actions are processed and executed from left to right as they appear in the URL.
 Because all specified actions are executed, it is possible that later actions will override the effects of previous actions, so it is important to use the correct order. For example, page actions should appear before zoom Actions.
Commands are not case sensitive except for the value of a named destination. There can be no spaces in the URL.

 

 
URL examples



http://example.org/doc.pdf#Chapter6

http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3

http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3&zoom=200,250,100

http://example.org/doc.pdf#zoom=50

http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=72&view=fitH,100

http://example.org/doc.pdf#pagemode=none

http://example.org/doc.pdf#pagemode=bookmarks&page=2

http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3&pagemode=thumbs

URL limitations
Only one digit following a decimal point is retained for float values.
Individual parameters, together with their values (separated by & or #), can be no greater then 32 characters in length.
You cannot use the reserved characters =, #, and &. There is no way to escape these special characters.

If you turn bookmarks off using a URL parameter when a document had previously been saved with bookmarks on, the bookmark scrollbars are displayed at first, and only disappear once Acrobat obtains enough streamed information to render the full page.

Install Brother Control Center 3 for DCP 560CN under Windows 8 to scan multi page PDF

According to Brother, ControlCenter 3 does not support Windows 8. But i like the scan multiple pages into a PDF function of it, so i wanted it back on Windows 8 as well.

How-i-fixed-it:

I downloaded the Windows 7 Version here:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/eu/de/de/dlf/download_index.html?reg=eu&c=de&lang=de&prod=dcp560cn_all&dlid=&flang=Deutsch&os=93&type2=-1

I decompresses itself into a local folder. Then I set the compatibily mode of the "Setup.exe" to "Windows 7" and installed the Software.

To make the scan to email function working with my Outlook 2010, i also downloaded and installed the Update Tool for ControlCenter3 from here:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/eu/de/de/dlf/dlf/000000/003100/dlf003176.html?reg=eu&c=de&lang=de&prod=dcp560cn_all&type2=2&os=93&flang=17&dlid=dlf003176

With the software installed, i was able to scan multiple plages into a single PDF without problems.
