✅ If you're a software developer, the Custom Virtual Printer SDK offered by VeryUtils will be a valuable resource for your development needs. The SDK empowers you to:
1. Generate output in standard raster or vector formats from your program or any other software application intended for producing printing forms. Supported output formats include EMF, PDF, TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PNG, and plain text in different encodings.
2. Redirect print jobs to other printers, allowing simultaneous saving in a set format (PDF, BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, TXT) and physical printing on a hardware printer.
3. Modify virtual-printed documents before sending them for actual printing, enabling further customization and enhancements.
4. Import documents from other applications and convert them to your desired format using the EMF format.
✅ The VeryUtils Virtual PDF Printer is royalty-free, meaning that the fee you pay for the virtual printer is the only expense. There are no consecutive royalties, allowing you to use the printer with your applications without any additional fees. The source code is also available for purchase, allowing for further customization and code modifications.
✅ So, how does the Virtual Printer work in practice? Here's a step-by-step overview:
1. The user prints a document to the Virtual PDF Printer from any application.
2. The virtual printer intercepts the print job and saves each printed page as an EMF file.
3. The virtual printer converts the EMF files to the specified output format, saving them in the current user's temporary directory or a specified output directory.
4. The virtual printer creates an INI file containing print job information and paths to the generated files.
5. The virtual printer transfers the path of the INI file to a specified application using one of three transfer modes: command line transfer mode, WM_COPYDATA transfer mode, or named pipe transfer mode.
6. Your application receives the INI file, allowing you to perform any final actions required, such as moving files or transferring them. Once you're finished, remember to delete the files from the output directory.
