Integration of PDFCreator driver under Windows  


 

 

Beginning with 4D v12, the support of PDF printing under Windows relies on the PDFCreator driver to offer simple and functional PDF printing functions. The GET PRINT OPTION and SET PRINT OPTION commands both make use of this driver. 

PDFCreator is a free driver (OpenSource) governed by the AFPL (Aladdin Free Public License). For more information about this license, please refer to the following address: http://en.pdfforge.org/content/license

To use the PDFCreator driver, you must download the appropriate version and install it in your environment. (It is not installed by default by 4D.) Note that with 4D v12, you must install at least version 0.9.9 of PDFCreator (version 1.2 or higher is recommended). You can download PDFCreator here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/files/PDFCreator/
You must have Administrator access rights in order to install the driver. 

During installation, a new virtual printer named "PDFCreator" by default is installed in your system. You can change this name if desired.

Note: Under Mac OS, PDF printing is supported natively by the system.
