Text Output
The Black Ice Printer Driver is capable of extracting the text information from the printed document.
The text extracted from the document is saved as a standard text file. The text file gets the same name as the printed document, but with the .txt extension.
When printing to a multipage file format, such as PDF or TIFF, every page will be in one single text output. When printing to a single page file format or with the Save each page as separate file option, every page will be in a separate text output file.
