[Andy W] | I wanting to print the PDF to a printer which is set to print | to file, | so efectively i end up with a ps file. | | so 1 pdf becomes 1 ps file
It't not quite clear to me what you *want* to do as opposed to what actually happens when you try. If I understand, you have a PDF file, and you *want* to output it as a Postscript file. (And you want to automate that arrangement). If that's the case, I can think of two approaches, neither using COM -- which may be a valid third approach. The first is to use the possibly deprecated Acrobat Reader command-line switches to print a file and pass a file name. There's some information here: http://www.stillhq.com/ctpfaq/2002/03/c45.html#AEN103 and if you want to get hold of an older version of Acrobat, try oldversion.com The second is to use ghostscript from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ to generate a ps file from a pdf file. Hope that helps. TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star. The service is powered by MessageLabs.
