For pdfFactory Pro, substitute the appropriate key names. HKCU\Software\FinePrint Software\pdfFactory8\AutoSaveDirĮxample: Here is a batch file that turns off the dialog box and uses OutputFilePerm to specify the name and location of PDF using pdfFactory. HKCU\Software\FinePrint Software\pdfFactory8\JobsDir Existing files at theĭestination with the same name are overwritten without prompting. OutputFilePerm is used every time, and is not erased after use. If you want to print a sequence of files to pdffactory, here is the procedure in pseudeocode: When the OutputFile key is erased, it signals that the PDF has been created and can be acted upon by the calling application. This only works for display mode 2 (shown above). HKCU\Software\FinePrint Software\pdfFactory8\OutputFilePerm HKCU\Software\FinePrint Software\pdfFactory8\OutputFile The output filename where the PDF will be saved can be set using these registry keys: so do not use this setting unless absolutely necessary. In forced override mode, the setting affects ALL applications and it cannot be changed from the UI until you change it in the registry. Note: The forced override setting is the standard location for this setting without the “PrinterDriverData” subkey. HKCU\Software\FinePrint Software\pdfFactory8\FinePrinters\pdfFactory Pro\PdfAction = 1 HKCU\Software\FinePrint Software\pdfFactory8\FinePrinters\pdfFactory Pro\ShowDlg = 2 For example, to set mode 2, PdfAction 1, set the following in the registry: If for some reason the ShowDlg setting does not “stick”, “forced override” mode is available. *Program name is placed in the PrinterDriverData section using the Exec key. The display can also be set interactively using the pdfFactory Preferences in the Windows Printers folder. Note: the values above are of type DWORD, not string. This does not affect any open HDCs into the pdfFactory printer.
