How it works?

Print any file to ActMask Virtual Printer (you can request us to custom the printer name) simply, then PDF and a ini file will be created automatically. Your application receives fullname of file(s) exported, Job Title, page size and more information from the ini file.

1. User prints any printable document to the virtual printer from any application.

2. The virtual printer driver converts print job to output format you specified. All files are saved in temporary directory (CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA\Temp. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Temp, call Windows API SHGetSpecialFolderPath to get CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA folder) of current user. Of course, you can specify output directory too.

3. The virtual printer driver creates an INI file contains all printing information and full name of target file.

4. The virtual printer driver passes full name of the INI file to application you specified via one of ways (Transfer Mode) below:

5. Your application parses the INI file received to get all information, move target file(s) to the folder you want, rename it (them) and delete the INI file if it's no longer used.
