How do I install the Converter products?

Post by Dany »

It depends on what version you are going to install.

Version 1.5, 2.0
1 - For the End-user version, executing "install.exe" will install a printer named "Amyuni PDF Converter", for example, to which you can print. If you want to change the printer name, you can launch Install “ MyCompany PDF printer”.

2- For the developer version, there are two methods:

Method A: the user has the right to add and remove printers from the system therefore you would use PDFDriverInit to add the printer to the printer’s folder. In this case, DriverEnd will remove the printer. You should make sure PDFDriverInit is called right at the beginning of your application and not every time a document is printed, this may cause errors within your application.

Method B: the user doesn’t have the right to add and remove printers from the system therefore you would use the supplied install.exe to add a printer (by default it will be named "PDF Compatible Printer Driver", unless you launch install "any other name"). In this case, you should use DriverInit instead of PDFDriverInit in your application; otherwise, the printer will be removed each time you call DriverEnd.

For further information refer to “Technical Note 4 – TN04” available in our website from http://www.amyuni.com/en/support/technotes.html or to the documentation that is provided with the developer version, Common Driver Interface.

Version 2.1 and above
Follow the instructions as detailed above for the previous versions. The newest versions of our Converter products have an Activation feature, which means that after installation, you must activate your product before using it. Failure to do so will generate an error message. Please consult our Activation information page for easy-to-follow instructions on how to do this. (Note for MJ: ‘Activation’ should be a link to the page containing the activation instructions, the one that is a pop up please remove this note before publishing).
