Not sure if this question is still relevant to you, but you'd probably want to think about something like this: Use the WDK (Windows Driver Kit) to create a. This will allow you to specify UI during the print (for your printer dialogue). The reason why you'd want to show UI here is because it's one of the only printer driver components that runs in the user session (the same process as the printing application). The XPS pipeline and port monitor are both session 0. If you want to stick to MS convention, you'll do the spool file to PDF conversion in the render filter of the (this is if you're using an ). The filter pipeline is where you have the opportunity to modify the XPS spool data coming in and in the final filter, convert it to your output document type (PDF in your case).

What’s that?? That’s the response I always get when I’m describing my favorite building material. Not surprising. Papercrete is a fairly new ingredient in the natural building world. It is basically re-pulped paper fiber with Portland cement or clay and/or. Building With Papercrete Pdf Files. Ease of installation. Durability - resistance to degradation from compression, moisture, decomposition.

To do post print processing, you might want to consider creating a (again with the WDK) and kicking off a new process to do the post print processing after the port monitor writes out the print output to disk. Only problem with this approach is that you can't use port monitors in Version 4 drivers (this is the new type of driver in Windows 8). Version 3 drivers still work in Win 8, but I guess they'll be phased out eventually.

Sorry it's probably not very obvious, but as I say, it's a high level overview (and unfortunately driver development is still very complex beyond a simple print to file). Version 4 printer drivers are becoming a lot easier to develop, but unfortunately with the removal of port monitor support and other improvements, it makes it a lot harder to develop anything requiring post processing. [DISCLAIMER: I'm associated with the Mako SDK R&D team] I know you asked for a free SDK, unfortunately I don't know of anything that would be suitable, but I know our company offer a Virtual Printer Platform (SDK) which would be good for you (prints to PDF and supports post print processing). You can find more information at the Hope this helps a bit anyway. I know printer driver development can be very confusing at times!
