I do want to use PDFCreator to generate PDFs with our old ERP system, that usually prints by sending ESC Sequences and ASCII Text to a Windows Printserver -> \\printserver\printer directly.
With normal “Windows based” jobs, all works fine, but with the old ERP, PDFCreator just generates some blank PDFs.
Hi, no way. DOS-Printing is not supported. PDFCreatore needs a windows printeroutput.
Maybe another solution: Can you capture the printoutput into a file ? Are you able to change the ESC-sequences yourself? I could do so in my old DOS-ERP, so I change the PCL-sequences for a HP-laserjet to RTF-sequences and redirected the output into a file. This file can be printed with word using PDFCreator .
I hoped to get some soloution that wont require me to change that much code :\ ( some antique language plus completely crappy and uncommented code … ).
Hopefully I’ll find another way.
pdfcreator was so promising … print to a PDF and then just print that Generated PDF.
