I'm getting similar errors on my XP machine. I'm also getting a message that is titled PDF Library and says Evaluation period expired, please contact pdfsupport@pdf-tools.com. The same line also shows up in the CMD prompt window. This happens every time I start PDFrasterfarian. I just uninstalled 2.1.6 and installed 2.2.1. I was getting the same PDF Library error with 2.1.6 and it would not process any .pdf files.

Here's what I get when I choose to preview the first page:

I get the same unhandled exception errors when I try to process a .pdf without previewing the first page.
