PDF XChange Forum

Hello,

Is there a way to create more than 1 printer with the "Standard Printer" software?
for example:
Printer 1 = Profile 1
Printer 2 = Profile 2
etc.

Thanks for the feedback

Hello, Xmedia

I am glad to see you found a solution before we could get back here! I will mark your second post as the solution to this topic for anyone else coming along to ask the same.

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel

Thank you for the quick confirmation.

I have one additional question:
Can I also create a printer via the command line and assign the profile at the same time?
Ideally, can I also import all profiles beforehand?

Hi, Xmedia

indeed one can add a Standard Printer using PDFSaver.exe: https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxs10/pdf-saver_s.html
This command line can be used to install multiple copies of PDF-XChange Standard and give each copy a custom name:
•<AddPrinter> adds a new printer to the printers list.

•<PrinterName> determines the printer name.

•<NoNotify> is an optional parameter that prevents the sending of information about changes in the printers list to other applications.

You can pass it options using /SetOptions, but if you want to add a profile you will need to call drvui.x64.dll
"

Where :

• C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Standard\ is the path to drvui.x64.dll (C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Standard\ is the default).
• C:<path to profile>\ is a valid path to your Profile pp5 file.
• ProfileName matches your saved profile file name.
• PrinterName is the name of the printer already installed "PDF-XChange Standard" is the default. If you have renamed the printer you must use that new name)

So it would take two commands.

I hope that helps.

Perfect!

Thanks Paul
