Use Settings Program to specify output file?
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 2:43 am
I'm trying to setup BullZip PDF Printer so that it can do the following:
Use a Settings Program that I am writing that can read a text file to find a filename, and then use that filename (with a .pdf extension) as the name of the PDF output file.
I am not sure I understand the documentation. In settings.ini, should the line SettingsProgram= include both the program and a parameter, like this:
Or only the name of the program? If only the name of the program, then what file is given to the program as a parameter?
I have not been able to make any SettingsProgram= entry actually do anything. I have written a "hello world" program that runs as the AfterPrint program, but BullZip PDF Printer displays an "Error loading program" message before the "hello world" message actually appears.
Should the SettingsProgram modify settings.ini to specify the Output file? Or should it write an entirely different file?
Any help would be gratefully received!
