print to file - without altering the original file
Hi,
I am trying to create a "print to file" printer that would simply redirect a file to a folder. The issue I'm having is that say I print a PDF file, the "print to file" driver alters that PDF file to a PCL or PS file... I believe I would need a generic printer model that would support more than just ASCII text. Any idea how to handle this? Thanks. TL |

If this doesn't work, copy the PDF file to, say, PRINT.PDF, print this, then delete PRINT.*. You could put this in a batch file so that it needs just one mouse click. -- Thoss |

BUt if you print to the pdf printer, this one does automaticaly the
creation of a file and directs it to a folder, on the other hand it does indeed use postscript for the conversion, therefore AFAIK some kind of postscript needs to be present in the system in order to make it all work. I would rather check if there is a way in your pdf creator programm to set the defoult foulder somehow. |
