Hi All,
I am trying to evaluate the developer version 2.10. We have an application (VFP) where we would like to enable the printing to pdf as an option. I can get the silent install to work fine, and then link to the .dll's functions and create the pdf, the issue is with having the PDF Creator printer then left available for the users.
Ideally I would like to run the install once, and then whenever the user wishes to run a report into a pdf, I would 'create' the printer, have it available in the 'Printers & Faxes', set it as the default, run the report, reset to the real default actual printer, and then hide or delete the PDF creator (this is all in the background invisible to the user). I Just don't want to really delete it and have to re-run the Install.exe!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
Can I install a printer, but not have it visible?
Hello,
If the users of your application would have administrative rights on their machines you would be able to install the printer when launching your application and remove it before closing your application without the need to run Install.exe.
To so so you need to use PDFDriverInit of CDIntf.
Hope this helps.
