DOS to PDF tool

[goober808]

Does anyone know of a good software that will retrieve spool information from the LPT ports and convert that spool into PDF file?

Below is the request i received from my boss...

"Please search for a DOS to PDF Tool. This is specifically for the DOS illustration/reproposal software. The only outputs from the software are LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, and FILE. The output to FILE function is not particularly "pretty" so the preferably the tool you find needs to be able to retrieve spool information from the LPTs."

I'm not too familiar with the DOS illustration/reproposal software he is mentioning above.... so this is all the information i can provide. I hope someone can interpret this vague request!! sorry, i'm unable to provide more information.

Thanks,
Goobs

Use Google on the phrase: "capture lpt1 to pdf"
There are many choices.

They list a large variety of software. Personally, I've not used DOS PDF captures since Windows NT4
