BlackIce Pdf Driver and VFP 9.0 on 32bit and 64bit windows 7

[CCHSR]

Has any one written a routine that changes the output file name when using the Blackice PDF Driver.
I am tring to write one but they do not have sample prgs written in Foxpro.
Not sure if vb.net ocx will work, and how to set it up in the prg.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Hi

I would think the .dll approach would be best, but short of buying the software I can't help - because you only get
some of the sample source if you install the drivers.

At a glance I think the c++ example are probebly going to be most helpful.

Craig,

I assume you are trying to use the Printer Driver API to set the output filename. This is an ordinary ActiveX control, so it should be possible to control it in VFP.

I don't have the product, so can't give you any direct help. But I see that there is sample code available for languages other than VFP. If you could post the VB sample, we might be able to help you translate it.

If you do post the VB sample, please only post the bits that are directly relevant to setting the filename. It's probably only half a dozen lines or so.

Mike

Is there a reason that you are attempting to use the BlackIce PDF printer?

There are a LOT of other PDF 'printers' out on the web and many of them are free.
Additionally many of them can be configured as you need and can then be used within VFP applications.

If you should need recommendations on these other PDF 'printers', we'd be happy to make some suggestions.

Good Luck,
