Differences in PDF-XChange 3 and V4

Post by Arnold Trost »

Hello,

im switching vom PDF-XChange V3 to V4. On question: In V3 i did not need to create a new temporary printer form IPXCControlEx. I used the installed PDF-Change 3.0 Printer driver. I have to adapt my source code (create printer, release printer, etc). Why did you changed this ? Where is the advantage ? Can i do it the old way ?

This was done for some reasons: allow printing more than one document at the same time (you can create more than one printer and all of them will have own settings); now it is possbile to make settings one time and print a set of documents without handling events/messages to set preferences of the printer.
