Just fiddling with the developer's version of the pdf converter C++, just wondering about the following and do note these may sound stupid:
1. Is there any way for me to manipulate or capture the information of the content in a document (not it's form) prior to being sent or converted into pdf format?
2. Is there a way to just simply redirect to the printer through the converter?
3. What are the main function calls made by the drivers when the 'print' button is selected?
4. Could someone explain what some of them do specifically to me aswell?
e.g drvstartdoc()?
answers to any of these would be greatly appreciated...

Hello
There is no stupid questions, at least i didn't see any
1) I am not sure if you mean data stream here. You can capture the content in a datastream and manipuate it.
2) The Converter is a printer that enables you to generate PDF files by printing your documents to it. When the PDF file is generated you can programmatically print it to a physical printer using CDIntf (this is the interface of the driver).
3) You mean Windows APIs? You will need to check this with our developers.
4) enablepre, startdoc, startpgae, endpage, enddoc are events fired by the PDF Converter before and during printing. You can capture these events and process your code accordingly: Example when capturing the EnablePre event you can call (or you need to call more precisely) the EnablePrinter() function to enable the printer before printing.

Hi Joan,
How do i go about capturing the data stream, I have read page 255 of the Common Interface 250 manual, and I am using Visual 2005 or 6.0 C++ as a compiler to create a dll, but i have never created a dll before, so some help on this would be great, or if possible could you send me a simple code to intercept the datastream and slightly manipulate it in some way?
Cheers
