    Possible to create a pdf and txt file simultaneously?
    • idontunderstandidontunderstand

      I am using the autosave function to automatically create pdf files.  The filename is <JobID>.pdf.  I also need to create a text version of the file with the same filename <JobID>.txt.  However, autosave only allows 1 format to save, so I can only pick pdf.

      Is it possible to use the "Action After Saving" to create a text file after the pdf has been created?  Or is there a way to autosave multiple formats at the same time?

      Hi,

       

      this is possible by using a not very pretty workarround:

      You need to setup a second PDFCreator printer and profile (Run PDFCreator as admin, go to Printer->Printers, add a printer and assign a profile to it which autosaves to txt).

      Now go to the PDFCreator options (of the profile used for printing pdf), and enable print->"print after saving" and choose the newly created (txt)printer.

       

      regards
