PDF Reader for Windows 7. PDF Reader for Windows 7 is a free PDF document viewer with minimal editing capabilities: zoom, rotation, crop, etc. The platform can open, view, convert, print, and edit PDF files. PDF Reader is a li. Customize the Microsoft PDF Printer and more. Despite its rather deceiving name, Tweak Microsoft Print to PDF is not just to troubleshoot the Microsoft PDF Printer, although this is its main mission. The server should be sending the driver to Windows 7 when the print driver in use is a Class driver the vendor included in Server 2012 or when the vendor provides a Type 4 driver for the device. When using Type 3 drivers the architecture specific driver should be downloaded to the client when it exists on the server or copied from Windows.
Print processors are user-mode DLLs that are responsible for converting a print job's spooled data into a format that can be sent to a print monitor. They are also responsible for handling application requests to pause, resume and cancel print jobs.
The print job's spooled data is contained in a spool file. The print processor reads the file, performs conversion operations on the data stream, and writes the converted data to the spooler. The spooler then sends the data stream to the appropriate print monitor.
Microsoft Windows 2000 and later includes the print processors listed in the following table.
Print processor | Input data types | Output data types |
---|---|---|
Localspl.dll * | EMF RAW TEXT | RAW |
Sfmpsprt.dll | PSCRIPT1 | RAW |
* Beginning with Windows 2000, Localmon.dll and Winprint.dll are included in Localspl.dll.
For information about the data types, see the following topics:
You can create a customized print processor to support a data type that is not supported by Windows 2000 or later operating system versions. You can also provide a customized print processor that supports one or more of the supported data types, thus allowing you to modify the capabilities provided by the supplied print processors.
Print processors are associated with printer drivers during driver installation, so multiple print processors supporting the same data type can coexist. For more information, see Installing a Print Processor.
Note When you compile a print processor, set the Unicode flag with #define UNICODE. Print processor code should use only wide strings, of type LPWSTR, for example.
