<rationalization> Sure, this is a Windows program I'm working on, still, the end result is to create .pdf files, which are better than .doc files, right? (Flame me if you must.) </rationalization>
My friends are always sending me .doc files. I prefer .pdf So I wrote a small utility -- basically, it's a spruced up file "save as" dialog box: Let's say you just typed up a term paper, well my dialog box allows you to type "term paper" and it searches the harddrive for something like those terms, and locates a directory, say called "myTermPapers." Anyway, I'd like my friends to be able to use this nifty program to not just to find directories faster, but also when integrated with a print to pdf printer driver. Let me explain: There are a lot of postscript printers out there. And there's GhostScript, which converts .ps to .pdf. I'd just like to paste those all together and create a virtual organizing pdf printer. Use case: 1 - (In any Windows program) file->print, select myCoolPDF printer, print 2 - My nifty organizing program pops up, they enter a search string and eventually select a directory and filename. 3 - With the document to print (and that path and filename,) an installed postscript printer creates a .ps file 4 - Ghostscript then produces a .pdf file (which I can view in Linux.) Now, I have no idea how to glue those steps together. :( Problem is, I've never written a printer driver for Windows. Any tips on how to begin? ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the BYU UUG discussion mailing list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "UNSUBSCRIBE" as the message body Visit the BYU UUG website at: http://uug.clubs.byu.edu/
