Hi,
We want to develop a Visual Basic application that intercept a print job from any windows application and ask the user if he wants to convert the job to a PDF instead of printing it. Can be done? Do we need to create a print driver to do it?
We tried to open files and print them sucessfuly using VB6 SP5 and your eval version, but we need to intercept a print job as well.
I thank you in advance.

This is the solution only you will have to do.
Hello,
The PDF Converter product fires the EnabledPre event each time output is
sent to the Converter. You will simply need to trap that event to know when
the PDF Converter has been access.
This situation is detailed on pages 146, 147 and 148 of the "Common Driver
Interface 210.pdf" document which is shipped with the product.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
