- Virtual Printer Driver
- Posted by Harald Fröba on December 10th, 2003
Hi,
I have to develop a virtual printer driver which can do the following stuff:
- generating a bitmap( color/monochrome)
- generation a textfile, in which all DrvTextOut string are stored
- the complete strings should be parsed and replaced, if needed( special
sequences )
- the replaced string should be updated in the bitmap
I have tested both the msplotter sample in which I can easily acess the text
in DrvTextOut
and the oemdll sample in with which I can generate a bitmap.
But the parsing and manipulation of matched string in the bitmap makes me
headaches.
Can a unidriver plugin do all the things?
Any hints, tips are welcome.
Regards,
Harald

Harald,
Are you sure you can always access the text with the
msplotter driver? Have you tried printing from Adobe
Acrobat Reader?
Best regards,
Andrei

with a full driver. If you've already got the basics working, then keep on
the course you're on.
