PDF Converter developer

johnramesh · Post by **johnramesh** » Mon Jun 21 2004

I am evaluating PDF Converter developer edition.

In PDF Converter - single user, when a word document gets printed with postprocessing in registry set to adobe acrobat reader. it creates pdf file and sends it to acrobat reader.

I would like to achieve this same with PDF Converter developer version.

I have an application written in powerbuilder which will take pdf file name as an commandline argument for further processing. In PDF Converter - single user, i set postprocessing as my pb app name, it worked fine. But I would like to use PDF Converter developer instead of PDF Converter single user.

How do i achive this?
Thanks.

Hello,

To use Postprocessing with the Developer version, you need to add PostProcessing ( ) to your call of FileNameOptions.

And in the registry you will set the application name that you want to use to open the pdf file after generating.
The registry key is:
Hkey-Current-Config --> Software --> Amyuni PDF Converter --> Postprocessing

This should help.

So, with developer version, can i print from word which creates pdf file and send to my powerbuilder application if i put my powerbuilder application exe name in the registry (Hkey-Current-Config --> Software --> Amyuni PDF Converter --> Postprocessing)?

I didn't really get your question.

Postprocessing is used to open a pdf file after it is generated. The pdf file is opened in a PDF Viewer like our PDF Creator or Adobe's PDF Reader or any other viewer.

If you create a pdf file from Word you can use the Open method of CDIntf or of the PDF Creator to open it in Powerbuilder.

I suggest that you send us some more details about what you are trying to do to support@amyuni.com so we can help you.

What i am trying to say is,

With Developer version of PDF Converter, Can i print to PDF file and send it to my powerbuilder application using 'Print' menu item from MS Word, MS Excel and other apps?. I was succesfull converting doc, xls file into PDF with this developer version.

The Developer version of the PDF Converter shouldn't enable you to print documents directly from Word or Excel to the printer. The Developer version works only from inside your powerbuilder application.

If you are able to print to the Developer version from Word than most probably you have the End User version installed and not the Developer one.
