Hi,
it might be easier to read the settings directly from the registry, at least if you need to read all settings for all profiles. The problem with reading all settings through COM is, you can only read 1 setting at a time and it is only possible to read settings for exisiting print jobs:
http://docs.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator/latest/en/pdfcreator/com-interface/reference/settings/
In the registry, all settings are stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings

Hi,
and thanks for the quick reply!
So, as 1.7.X version, is not possible to read parameters thru COM object, right?
I’ve used it in order to know if PDF’s mus be signed, but (if I’ve well understood) this parameter is inherted from profiles, also right?
Thanks again
Hi,
I don’t know how it was done in 1.7.x since the support for those was dropped quite some time ago.
You are correct, the signature settings are profile settings, so there might be different settings in each profile.
If you just need to ensure all PDFs are signed, you could simply set this directly for every print job and use the latest version 2.5.3.
Best regards,
Robin
Thank you very much!
Yes, I’m (just in 2017) porting apps from 1.7.X to 2.5.X…
Kind Regards,
