The PDFDriverInit method can be used to create a new printer when the application is launched and remove it when the application is closed.
System.Int32 PDFDriverInit(System.String PrinterName)
HANDLE PDFDriverInit(LPCSTR szPrinter)
HANDLE PDFDriverInitW(LPCWSTR szPrinter)
PrinterName , szPrinter
Name of the printer as it shows in the printers control panel. Only for the DLL, It should be an Ansi string for PDFDriverInit or a Unicode string for PDFDriverInitW.
The function will first attempt to connect to an existing printer. If it does not find any printer with the name provided by PrinterName, it will attempt to install a new printer. The function fails if it cannot find a printer with the specified name and cannot install a new printer. The printer referenced by PrinterName is removed when the application exits or the DriverEnd function is called.
Installing or removing a printer requires administrative privileges.
These methods return a HANDLE which is 32-bits with the 32-bit version of CDINTF and 64-bit otherwise. This handle cannot be converted to a 32-bit integer.
This method works slower than DriveInit, because it requires the installation of a new printer.
End-users should not use this method, because it would compromise the license information and the printer could be deactivated.
Member of CDIntfEx.CDIntfEx.
