In the previous video, we've seen how to make a DOS program printing to all the installed Windows printers, including USB, Wi-Fi, Fax, etc.
In this video, we'll see how to export the DOS print jobs to PDF files.

Start a DOS program
Print the document to the printer on LPT1:
Printfil captures the print job and you can print it (even to virtual printers) but PDF and E-MAIL are disabled

To enable PDF and E-mail:

Open the Printfil manual, Chapter 9
Download Ghostscript by the provided link
Install it (the default values usually are ok)
Create the Printfil virtual printer by its own menu item
Select it at Configuration : Standard

That's all. Now:

Print again from the DOS program
Now PDF and E-MAIL are enabled
You can enable Encryption, Permissions, Passwords or create a PDF/A
The PDF has been created and you can open it with your favorite PDF viewer

Download the Free 30 days Printfil trial at https://www.Printfil.com and try it yourself.
