Batch Converter
Black Ice Printer
Driver API
|
|
The Black Ice
Printer Drivers include a Batch Converter add-on to the printer
driver written in C++, enabling developers to monitor a specified directory
and/or email address and automatically convert any files in the
specified directory or incoming emails. The following sample and
source code are included
in the
Resource Toolkit (no source code in
DEMO Resource Toolkit).
The Batch
Converter sample application logs in to a specified POP3 email
address then retrieves the emails from a given user account. The
attachments of the emails (Word, Excel, HTML, text files, etc.)
will be printed to the Black Ice printer driver which will
result in converting the received documents into images (JPEG,
PDF, TIFF, BMP, etc.).
Developers can
also specify a directory for the Batch converter to monitor.
Any supported file placed in the directory will be automatically
converted into an image file by printing that file to the Black
Ice printer driver. Settings such as the generated file format
and output directory can be changed from within the sample as
well.
Developers can
modify this sample later on to fit their exact needs by adding
additional features. The source code for this sample is
included in the “\Sample Source Files\Sample Source
Codes\C++\BatchConverter” folder of the RTK
installation.
