I've a project which writes to the default Windows Printer using Printer.Print, Printer.EndDoc, etc. We use a 3rd party app such as doPDF or PDF Creator to grab the print-queue and create PDFs when required.
Anyone any experience of creating PDF output directly from VB6? I know we could use setdefaultprinter API call to set the print driver to one of the PDF-writers, but wondered whether there was a way to write directly to PDF?
Thanks in advance.

I believe Microsoft Word will export directly to a PDF.Quote:

Some members from this forum are trying to find a way to preserve the content of PSC, see this thread:

but now that I have tried it, the antivirus marks me as a virus.
I think I remember that it worked without problems for a long time.

We've had a PDF printer driver in Windows for a long time now.
