CREATE FILE: PRINTER PORT TO SPECIFIED FOLDER?

[Jussi]

I need to create a printer port which saves prints jobs as a file. (ie.
FILE: port)
But instead of asking user where to put the file, it woud put this in
specified folder?

How to do that?

Thanks,

Jussi

If you are happy with using the same name for every job then add a new local
port and use the path to the file as the port name. The downside to this is
each job will overwrite the previous.

If you want a more flexible solution we have a product called Print
Distributor which will let you make the path up dynamically from the jobs
details including inserting a serial number. See the URL below.

Thanks, thats pretty close to what i'm looking for, but not quite. I need
to retain the original file name, serial number won't do.
I need to print .ps files to folder from which ghostscript converts them to
pdfs.

We are planning to add that in the near future.
