<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Hi good afternoon. Here is the printer definition and batch file I sent to Ken. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">here is the printer definition and batch file that starts the menu on those selects that create the out put as a pdf through Printwizard.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">What we want to do is instead of having to have line 12 in the batch file we would rather have it as a printer definition so that the user has the option to select a pdf as they would any printer location. Hope that is clearier.</DIV>
