Hi

Someone knows a (virtual) printer driver to send pages to image files?
..PNG or .JPG or other.
I have tried with PDF printers and then PDF to image (with
Ghostscript), but it doesn't work with multipages.

Thanks a lot,

Marco

You might find "Paperless Printer" just what you need:

you print on file on a postscript printer driver, then you convert pages in
PNG with ghostscript

FYI everyone.

In spite of the "buy" link on their page the "download " link says it IS
freeware.

"This product is FREE for noncommercial use or benefit only.

Thanks Won

Despite its name... FreePDF does a great job creating JPGs or TIFF
files and does multipage.

Go to <http://freepdfxp.de/fpx732.htm> The site is in German, but the
program is multi-lingual.

Download and install GhostScript

Download and install FreePDF

Go to your Start menu and launch FreePDF (not Assistant or Join)

Go to Edit->Options

Click on Profiles

Choose New

Give it a name like "JPG Output" (or whatever you want)

Change the "output format" to JPEG

It defaults to 300 DPI but you can also set it to 600 or 1200

Choose "save"

Close the configuration window. You only have to do those steps once.

Now, go into just any Windows application and choose "FreePDF" as
the printer.

Once the priting starts, you will get a dialogue asking what to do with

the output. Change the Profile to "JPG Output" and you can save the
output as JPG files. It will create a file for each page and add "-01"

"-02" etc to the end of each file name.

I've created multiple profiles ("JPG 300" "JPG 600" and "TIFF
Multipage") so I have some flexibility depending on what I'm going to
do with the graphic.

And.... FreePDF is free for "all uses" so I don't have to worry when I
use it at work.

Use http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator

You can choose to keep the file open and append as many pages as
you want. (Although I must admit I've never actually used the
multipage option :-)
